Well, this was weird. I’ve never had this problem before. I don’t know what it is, but this perfume smells a little like roses and also, troublingly, stale urine. Never have I encountered this issue before. I love Kyse perfumes, and have several, but this one is def not for me. My boyfriend picked up on it too. I’m assuming we’re anomalies because this one is a favorite of many, but I just can’t do it. I picked up the 30 ml blindly (I know, I know), and it is officially perfuma non grata in my collection. If interested, hit me up. I’m willing to trade for another Kyse or other Indie perfumer. Phew.

This is a weird jammy rose, very foodie and not fresh smelling. Loads of Graham cracker.

Today my glorious, gorgeous scent of the day is Kyse Confit de Rose….
A lovely gourmand rose that hits all the right notes–it’s comforting yet alluring. It opens with a buttery cookie note that makes my mouth water, then a blast of tart berries, creamy whipped cream, a hint of rich chocolate and so much sweet rose. I really think anyone could wear this, if you’re a fan of gourmands. The rose is not green, bitter, nor soapy—just a sweet uncomplicated warm rose. ♥ Heavenly.
I don’t get the votes that compare it to Rose Jam, as it’s far more gourmand and less soapy than Rose Jam can be (don’t get me wrong, I love them both—but they are 2 different animals).
So affordable, and worth picking up!

Once again, Terri Bozzo has really created something special (and sweet!) in Confit de Rose, which I believe translated to “candied rose” and that’s a very accurate description of it.
It consists heavily of rose but perhaps even more heavily of the gourmand elements—really, what smells to me like strawberry shortcake. In the notes, it’s red berries, graham cracker, and even a hint of plum that account for this, to my nose. I don’t detect the chocolate note specifically but it’s plausible that it could just be more subdued under the other notes.
Performance is strong, and I’d characterize it as unisex and year-round wearable, though I’d probably use this more casually than formally.
I’m not sure why this has such a mixed reception but I imagine it could be alienating to those who don’t like rose or sweet scents.
As I love both, this is a neat and innovative creation, a departure from most “jammy rose” fragrances that we’ve seen a fair amount of.
And at $52 for 60ml, this is a steal like most of Terri Bozzo’s line.
Very impressive, and one I’ll be buying a bottle of, for sure! I’d recommend trying it at least, as the potential upside is high.

I have searched and searched for the “right” rose perfume. There is always a harsh or sharp note in most I try. That or a soapy, “old lady” smell to them.
I received several samples from Terri with a hand written note and an email from her. I was looking for beautiful, delicious gourmand fragrances at the time and what I found with Kyse Confit De Rose was not only a scent that satisfied my sweet tooth for a great gourmand but also allowed me to find the absolute PERFECT rose.
This offering is deep and a bit darker. Sweet and jammy. For my nose it is truly perfection. Even after the sample was gone I would sniff the bottle until I could get a larger bottle. That’s how much I adore this!
Terri’s customer service makes it all the sweeter. I don’t think there is anyone out there that could deny how amazing and personal her attention to her customers is. Thank you Terri for all you do. I’m looking forward to trying many more!

This opens with a very strange sour musty basement smell but wait 10 minutes and it becomes a glorious rose jam spread on a graham cracker (for those in the UK, this is equivalent to a digestive biscuit). It is reminiscent to me of ‘Jammy Dodgers’ biscuits and is the jammy gourmand rose scent that I have been looking for. What a gem.
It’s longevity is good at 8+ hours and sillage is excellent.
Kyse ship to the UK at a very reasonable cost and they also sent me 2 samples of other scents from their line with my order.

I must be the odd one out because this smells so sour to me…I detect no sweetness. I can smell hints of rose,even chocolate…but I think the berry and plum notes give this quite a sour undertone. Someone else mentioned popcorn…I get that as well. It also surprises me that there are no boozy notes because I get that too. I would have blind bought this on notes alone and I am so glad I didn’t. I don’t like this scent.
Dark8010 – :
This is an odd one, alright, but nice! Like everything I’ve tested from this line so far, Confit de Rose has a definite homemade quality to it, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing: what it lacks in complexity or sophistication, it more than makes up for in originality, strength and just sheer edible delight. It’s a pure blast of buttery cookies with dark chocolate and delicious rosy jam, more like stepping into a dessert workshop than putting on a perfume, but sometimes that can be just what the doctor ordered…I’ve been wearing it around the house a lot this winter.

CdF you odd little thing.
It opens strong with a graham cracker and a buttery/nutty note. The berries and plum start to seep through. Im not sure if I like the odd opening but give it time to do its thing.I think im having a chemistry issue with this one, which makes sense as the reviews here are pretty varied. Ill have to give this one multiple wearings to get a handle on it.

This has officially been on my want list for a long time now, and I still need to get myself a full bottle.
In the sample I had, I could smell this without even opening it. On me, Confit de Rose has a warm nutty smell when sprayed once on my chest and lasts for hours. If I spray a little more, I get the bitter dark chocolate with graham cracker, which then fades to the same nutty smell over the course of a few hours. I haven’t picked up on any rose in this even though I’ve worn this many times, but maybe that’s just my nose.
Not sure about others, but this lasts all day to the next on me. Depending on how much you decide to spray, you’ll get a lovely nutty scent or a bold, rich, dark chocolate scent. This is definitely not blind-buy material.
Either one is heavenly.
Definitely one of my loves.

I grabbed a couple of samplers during her black Friday sale and I got the package last week. I thought it was so cool that she included a nice handwritten thank you note (I’m pretty easy to please LOL). But I’m trying this right now. All I can think initially is rose Jelly Belly jelly bean. A sort of candied rose moment. I can smell the graham cracker starting to come through. I think it’s interesting, but not something I could see myself wearing.
tihomirov61 – :
This was not at all what I expected, even though all the notes are there. The dark chocolate is bitter and present at all times, as well as Terri’s signature wheat like graham cracker note in the base. And of course, the rose is very prominent, unfortunately, as it’s my least favourite part of this perfume. It’s very tangy, and reminiscent of cranberry juice, and a stuffy, dusty quality about it, making it way too intense for me. The concept is great but the result was not as expected, like I feel about Lush Rose Jam (they only share that quality). I recommend Terri’s gourmands instead.
tlt596speagoessenda – :
Not plums, but prunes and cranberries.. The sourness that is so characteristic for rose scents creates with the prune combo also something that reminds me on red/black grapes.
Confit de Rose ceirtainly is creamy, but I also get whiffs of something spicy, like cinnamon. Actually the whole composition reminds me somehow on some notes that I got from Amouage Memoir Woman – deep, dark fruity.. but the cream, lack of spices (except cinnamon) and the sour note of the rose prevents further similarities.
The rose, especially in the opening feels more dry and dusty than dewy to me, almost like smelling tea. In the end it gets less dusty, brighter and more fruity fresh. Chocolate.. where?
DMPar – :
Terri’s Confit de Rose smells like the most delicious rose jam ever! I can pick up on the chocolate note and something that reminds me a little of graham crackers, yum! Ever since I smelled it I have been obsessing over this sweet rosy jelly heaven and got myself a full bottle to enjoy. I absolutely love it!
strahxxx – :
Great perfume, smells like a fruity rose that has been “jellified”, with a little sugar, light vanilla creme and milk.
I do get the graham cracker note that people have mentioned, although it took a while to pick it up along with a milk chocolate. Great longevity and sillage.

I ordered the whole sample set as the price is very good and I was intrigued having read about this particular range of fragrances.
When my sample pack arrived I swear that all I could smell was basmati rice. The whole range of perfumes smelled like sweet basmati rice and the fragrance overwhelmed my room and literally made me throw up. Never before has that ever happened with a perfume. I had to throw the whole lot in the garbage outside, I couldn’t even leave this in my house.
Perhaps the perfumes had ‘turned’, I don’t know, but along with ‘Lush’ perfumes, this house is a no no for me.

Finally, a rose I can wear that isn’t a rose/patch combo!
This smells like Turkish delight coated in silky chocolate. I was in Turkey a few years ago and it’s common custom to share some tea with someone you’ve done business with. I bought a bracelet and the jeweller brought out a pot of rich Turkish tea in the most beautiful little glasses. He looked at me and said “Hungry?” and before I could answer, a shop assistant brought over a box of Turkish delight that they also sold at the counter (don’t ask, Turkey is weird and wonderful like that). The jeweller shook his head and pointed to the back room. He told me he wouldn’t serve me tourist food. Probably a sales gimmick, but ok. The shop assistant re-appeared with a tray that I smelled before I saw. The aroma of the sweetest rose filled my nostrils and I’m pretty sure I started salivating. I was instantly transported back to reading The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe for the first time, when Edmond gets Turkish Delight from the Snow Queen.
This perfume smells exactly like that. It evokes a memory of a time a scent evoked another memory. I absolutely love it.
I find it fairly linear (which I’m fine with) and one little drop seems to last forever.
Definitely full bottle worthy for me, it’s magical.
NEPTTICENEOWL – :
I must be the only person not absolutely in love with this. For some reason, the graham cracker note is just way too strong to me.. it’s all I can smell. No chocolate or rose here, just stale crackers. A big bummer and probably due more to my nose than anything else.
Mecvl965InsuffBooni – :
I typically cannot wear most rose scents. My skin amplifies them and I end of up smelling like a funeral parlor. It isn’t pretty. But this!! Holy moly!! This smells like popcorn and chocolate and roses on my skin. Sweet, fresh roses-not the dried dusty kind. The first thing I smell on me is all popcorn-which I am guessing is the graham cracker-followed by this delicious chocolate. Last up is the sweet rose. Together it is one of the sweetest, most delicious rose scents I have ever encountered! It smells amazingly edible and I could still get chocolate rose scented whiffs through out most of the day. Love this one!

I spilled a little of this and used a napkin to wipe it up and threw it in the garbage in my room. My entire garbage smells delightful. I should not like sniffing my garbage. I can smell it from across the room!

Confit de Rose: This may be one of the most diabolical, dangerously delicious roses out there. Yes, that is a warning to those of you who typically go, “Ew…rose!” This isn’t your typical rose…it’s earthy, woody, thorny, dense, spicy, and worthy of any collection. Why don’t I have this yet, I keep asking myself???
Mastura – :
It’s a beautiful perfume by Terri. The rose in this one is so different. It’s sweet and mysterious, but not cloying. The whipped cream and red berries play a peekaboo sort of game with the rose being the centre of the attention. I didn’t get the chocolate note that so many people here are talking about. The sillage and longevity are moderate. I sprayed it on generously to notice it, but it stayed for a whole day and I could still get some rosy whiffs while going to sleep. It managed to give me a retreat into a world of roses and berries in the blistering heat of Mumbai. Love it!
It also reminds me of gulkand, a sweet preserve of candied rose petals that my mom used to make when I was a kid. It’s got that beautiful fragrance and I love the fact that it reminds me of a beautiful and somewhat forgotten part of my childhood.

80% rose jam, 20% oui plus, not that I’m complaining.
That sweetened jammy berry rose, yummy buttery crispy graham cracker with a touch of creamy sweet and chocolate.
Rose jam becomes bff’s with smores.
Best spin of something like rose jam I’ve smelt. Very, very nice.
bogatko – :
Wow! I am getting a totally different experience with this beautiful rose scent. I dabbed a generous amount on my wrist and I am intoxicated by this chocolate rose smell emanating from my wrist. The chocolate note is strong in the beginning but it dissipated within a few minutes and the sweet, nutty rose scent remained. It’s gorgeous!
Bot1x – :
At first smell, my brain was doing flip-flops trying to understand the delightful fragrance. The rose is very beautiful. At its most potent, there is a cedar-like quality. However, that quickly dries down, revealing the graham-cracker berry/plum whipped-cream concoction. And than those smells ease off allowing you to smell the rose again. Terri is crazy!
name027 – :
Fragrance notes: Rose Absolute-Morocco, plum, red berries, creamy notes, a tiny bit of cocoa, and graham cracker.
A delicious jammy, berry rose on top of graham crackers. It’s that rose you get in a Montale, like Intense Cafe (just the rose vibe, this isn’t a dupe). There are some roses I just can’t wear but this one is dark and deep, with a tiny bit of green. The sweetness of the berry jam livens it up a bit, makes it edible. And the cookies. Need I go on?

For me,this is the most beautiful of Terri’s creations. Rose is a challenging note for me, so my first impression of this scent was “hmmm, I’m not sure about that one.” After reading several reviews and chatting to my friend about it, I decided that I needed to give it a try. On my skin, the opening is phenomenal! It is a yummy mix of graham cracker with a deep dark bitter cocoa accord. The rose note begins to bloom from the opening. This rose is a very interesting old, organic, earthy smelling rose. The dry down becomes a quite lovely earthy dried rose, mixed with delicious ripe sweet fruit & berries. The dry down reminds me of stepping inside an old vintage store with fragrant potpouri and dusty vintage books. It is a familiar & comforting scent. Really, it is just lovely.
