You know how everyone has their own treasured family recipes. Favorite dishes that taste slightly different from other families because of the beloved ingredients and special touches that are added. Well, this is PK’s version of an oud/rose perfume, and it is wonderful. Kiler has taken materials that are often used, and mixed them to his own preference, with the discerning taste of a perfumista. This smells like what we want an oud/rose perfume to smell like. The oud is woody, exotic and potent. The rose is mixed into the accord so that it enhances, but doesn’t steal the show. Same with patchouli, and the musk adds sparkle and depth without becoming raunchy or cheap.
Dirty Rose is earthy, natural and easy to wear. A composition that has everything we want in a oud/rose scent, and nothing that we don’t!

This one is an ode the complex beauty of roses aroma, a project that was born from a bespoke fragrance and that the perfumer, due the given feedback, decided to launch it before making it more dirty than the name implies. A rose is a flower that works very well inside a soliflore fragrance, but she can go through sour paths that might make her quite difficult to enjoy in its fullness.This doesn’t happen here, and it’s greener and sour side is found properly controlled, giving space to fruitier tonalities, a waxy side and boozy nuances. This very beautiful rose accord start to me with a sparkling citrus opening with leather nuance. After it, the rose regins supreme in the composition with a beautiful harmony of the aformentioned aspects. This is for me almost an arab inspired perfume, but there is only a slightly suggestion of an oud accord through the cypriol. There is in some moments a slightly iris and saffron shade that give the roses a earthy and powdery side. The woods in any moment steal the scene from the rose, the work more with the labdanum as structural essences, que mixes to carnal and red gorgeous rose to give it a slightly woody ambery color.

This fragrance was created for one of Paul Kiler’s customers. He wanted a scent with his favorite note -musk- and also agarwood (oud). But Paul presented the result without the presence of musk and without his oud blend, created exclusively for his fragrances. And it worked! In fact, it was so successful that even though there was a gap to be filled, Paul received compliments and decided to leave this way, thinking of using the requested notes in a second creation, which is already about to hit the market and will be called Dirty Rose Oud Extreme (I received samples and I will review it, as soon as possible).
I asked the official notes to Paul, who promptly answered me and also put them on the website, avoiding future doubts. They are: bergamot, black Spruce (whose wood is widely used in the manufacture of guitars), Laurel and cherrywood smoke, in the output; Rose, nagarmotha (cypriol), teak wood, tobacco, cedar, mahogany and Earth accord, in the heart; Costus, amber, leather, Bourbon vetiver and labdanum, at the base.
I know how to begin this review: saying that I found another great fragrance created over the scent of roses, perfectly suited for men and, of course, radiant for women. Until then, I have only found a single fragrance in this same style, from Montale house. Other than that, perfumes with roses tend to the female side or the rose only complements the creation, in the midst of so many other notes.
Dirty Rose is really a “dirty” rose, which touches the skin intensively. And the official image matches the fragrance, because it’s exactly the scent of Red-ruby roses, with their velvety petals and burnt smell that I feel. And I say that because in my mother’s garden there are roses like that. It’s not that cleaning smell of white roses, nor the innocent scent of yellow roses. I guess this is the perfume felt by rose pickers, with its thorns, Earth, and everything that goes along with tons of rose petals, before being processed to extract their essential oil.
On my skin, the result was moist, smoky and full of Woods. The heart notes are present from the beginning to the end of the evolution when the amber shows up and leaves a slight creaminess in the aroma.
It is worth mentioning that is the kind of fragrance that lasts for more than 10 hours on the skin, with ease. And here I go, towards the Oud Extreme version!

One of my least favorite PK perfumes. Heady and headache inducing. I prefer Tom Ford’s Noir de Noir for an earthier and better executed fragrance without the civet. Considering his other creations are so excellent this was a bit disappointing.
