While this rose is definitely not POAL, I don’t think of it as a dewy fresh morning rose either. For me, the aquatic watery quality burns off rather quickly, and it becomes a rose that is out in the garden with the sun’s light and heat directly on it; I think it’s more of a “late roses” rose, not afternoon or evening, but just the first early morning heat 10:00–11:00.
So many people are capturing a greener scent than I am. For me, the green and the water lasts about two minutes, and then, a a lot of pepper plays into the composition. The pepper and jasmine warm this up considerably, and the amber and musks lend it a powdery tone.
While it is not strictly a “powder” rose smell, or baby powder scent, this pepper-powder combo is the most striking to me, adding an originality to a “mere soliflore” which I think would be boring. It is certainly recognizeably a rose–but a lovely rose with a difference. It is not complex, but, it is deceptively simply. The silage is not great. That’s the downer. I purchased a smaller bottle of this from Teo Cabanel in Europe, and, with many generous sprays managed to get some spillage, but this wears very discreetly. The longevity is excellent–but–mostly a skin scent. So it lasts, but reapplication may be necessary to really appreciate the scent.
I’m not a huge rose fan and not really a soliflore fan, but I know I’m repurchasing this–it’s an excellent scent. I prefer this over their other rose scent, Oha, which gets a lot of love in Blog land, but which I would wear only on special event days (formal).
This rose is much easier to wear everyday and appreciate in a variety of settings: jeans and t-shirt, or, a night out. It’s not exactly sexy–but it’s very lovely, elegant, and inviting, which is a different kind of sexy. And this is a kiss of death, which I don’t mean it to be, but, one could wear this to the office; it won’t scream at anyone and it’s inoffensive. This is meant, in this very particular case to be a positive commentary….

Pure rose grace in a bottle!
It’s still a perfume-y rose, but it shows how a rose perfume should be done even when not authentic rose.
It’s usually pushed as a “fresh” perfume by SAs and it’s true. It smells fresh in the opening. I thought about green notes but I see there are water notes. It makes sense. After the initial watery transparence the perfume settles to a pure rose garden and it’s still fresh, but not so soft. Not a skin scent. It’s more like walking in a rose garden in the month of May. I don’t smell much of the basenotes, they probably give a tone to the whole blend.
Romantic and gentle, yet softly sensual if you’re into florals. I may buy it in Spring.

Early Roses is a soft, early morning rose with a bit of dew still on it, just picked from the garden. The musk gives it a velvety soft edged structure, but the rose oil/attar is there and prominent in the topnotes. It is a realistic rose scent like a freshly picked rose, not a killer dose of rose attar that would choke a polar bear. I do not perceive a watery quality in this scent, just a bit of dewiness in the topnotes.
The pepper adds a spicy note that is just right and the drydown brings in amber and woods to balance. The jasmine is there, but it never overpowers the rose. I love the drydown of this scent, which lasts for hours as a beautifully balanced skin scent. There is only noticeable sillage for about an hour and a half, but with a few good sprays on body and clothing this fragrance lasts all day on me. It is very close to the perfect rose for me. It is so refreshing to find a rose scent that is not overwhelmed with fruity notes.

A soft, easy to wear Rose fragrance. Pleasant enough but it doesn’t wow me. There are many similar Rose fragrances that are easier to find & cost a lot less. Slightly green in the opening and there is a little spice – not much though. Suitable for the office – this is so inoffensive that there is no risk of overpowering anyone. If you want a true green rose, try Serge Lutens Sa Majeste Rose & if you like a little spice try their Le Fille De Berlin. I personally find them far superior & both have better longevity.

I love it! A refreshingly easy rose scent, with a perfectly balanced clean base. This is very easy to wear.
It starts very dewy and slightly green, then quickly changes into a pure soft rose (I didn’t get any musky notes at this point). This is not Bulgarian heavy rose, but a new, soft-spoken one. Sillage is really soft but it so far stays on me for 11 hours, of course being down to the base (a very clean amber, love it).
I used one spray on each arm and one on my neck, because it smelled so soft and clean rosey that I thought a little more wouldn’t hurt anyone. It works better on skin than on clothes, on skin this rose simply blossoms.
My mother liked it a lot too, so I think I’ll get her this. She likes the soft roses best.
To me, this is a really ageless scent. And I am amazed about the aquatic notes in this; it does smell dewy and fresh but is absolutely not getting to my head in an artificial way. This is a morning rose, then a perfectly wearable very slightly woody base. Refreshing it after a long day is a rosy delight and doesn’t spoil it at all, for the base really is comfortably soft.
All in all, I believe I’ll be wearing this when I have a quietly joyful day, enjoying the comfortable attitude of this. Everybody who smells this on me compliments the scent. I love the Early Roses!

“Early Roses” is a beautiful, non offensive rose perfume very similar to Stella, but a little bit more classy and lux (and I am not speaking only about price tag).
It opened rather green, but very soon settled to a sweet, musky and fruity rose scent suitable for a younger crowd and pretty much everyone who enjoys wearing Stella and is looking for something a bit more refined, but similar.
“Early Roses” has a low silage and it stays close to skin, longevity is mediocre.
I sense that not many people would commit to buying “Early Roses” themselves as this is nothing too unique and does not stand out in the “fruity/sweet rose” crowd, but nevertheless many will enjoy receiving this as a gift or gifting it to others. Very safe choice for teenagers, adults and seniors a like, could not offend anyone.

I agree with my fellow member Juliette has a gun.
Early Roses is a light, pleasant and office-friendly scent with average sillage.
It makes me think of young roses after a summer rain.
Early Roses is a pretty straight-forward, soft, clean, slightly sweet and dewy rose.
5 sprays lasted almost 4 hours on my skin which is not too bad taking into account that Early Roses is a rather light fragrance.
What I really like about this fragrance is that I can picture it on a certain kind of woman: A lively, caring, and honest woman with a big heart!
The fragrance is not one that makes you stand out from a crowd but it is definitely nice and pleasant.
On a personal note: I prefer it over Tea Rose or Stella.
A big thanks to the one and only ♣ Juliette has a gun ♣ for the sample!
