So happy to have discovered this house! This one was my favorite of the line! It’s absolutely beautiful and a breath of fresh air amidst all the generic fruity scents I come across nowadays. It’s refined and elegant. Spicy rose and a leather handbag. So good!

I get a lot of rose initially but the clove really becomes prominent on me almost immediately (after 15 minutes or less) and is perhaps distracting. However, my friend purchased this perfume and it is a sexy, leathery rose on her that smells sophisticated and subtle. Overall I think it is still one of the better offerings from this brand. Recommend layering with Wild Child or Gilded Fox.

Pinrose is like a weird elixir. Whenever I take off the cap to smell it, it’s like the scent seeps out like an invisible smoke. I’m going to be honest, I really don’t like the vibes that the company attaches to it with the Pinterest board of girls in red lipstick with red rose flower crowns, or the French techno in their SoundCloud playlist, though I appreciate their efforts to be more fun and appealing. To me, this is something I wear when I want to kick some a**. I’m really short, and it makes me feel less self conscious about it, because it makes me feel like me, but spicier and more biting. My name is Rose, and I always wear something with roses, but this is a rose that isn’t afraid to snap at you. I’m pretty passive, I need that in my life. Sure, it might not be the most unique thing in the world, and it might not work on everyone (my friend told me that after a while on her, it smelled like bug spray!) but I really think it should be given a chance. It’s not a masterpiece by any means, but it is memorable and has GREAT longevity. I woke up at 3 AM, drove 3 hours away, was in the heat most of the day, drove home and got back at 6 PM and I could STILL smell it. I only use 2 sprays of this. As for the sillage, one time I had it on, walked downstairs to tell my mom something, then went back upstairs when I saw her in our yard outside through the window and didn’t want to bother her. A few seconds later, she came inside, and told me she smelled Pinrose in the living room.

The bottle of Pinrose looks very innocent, girly and sweet but this scent is actually rather dark and witchy. (Wonderful!) Pinrose opens very spicy with the clove and ginger but the amber and dark sticky/jammy rose actually faintly remind me of midnight poison. I am not a huge rose fan but the rose scents I do like are usually dark/spicy/woodsy. This is sitting near the top of that short list at the moment. I get decent silage and will update on longevity later 🙂

I spritzed some of this on my hand at Sephora among other things today and felt sort of meh about it. The early phases were a bit too harsh, though not unpleasant. A spicy rose scent. Somewhere in the middle of the fresh to dark rose spectrum. Many hours later, I smelled what must’ve remained in the web part of my last 2 fingers and for the life of me could not remember what I sprayed there that smelled like POAL! So, reading someone else’s comparison to POAL makes sense, at least in the far drydown. It didn’t recall that for me when I first sprayed it on. Glad that mystery’s been solved!

This is billed as a modern rose-and-leather scent and I suppose it is that. However, Pinrose lacks panache and charisma. It smells like an early attempt by a young, promising perfumer: nowhere near a masterpiece but a step in the right direction. An example of a sophisticated leather note is Chanel Cuir de Russie. An example of a sophisticated rose note is Aerin Rose de Grasse. I will say that the rose note in Pinrose is intriguing enough, but the leather note is rather cheap and basic. It’s most disappointing when a fragrance shows a possible brilliance but falls way short 🙁

This reminds me of Thrills chewing gum. Blame my strange skin chemistry.

Hmmmm…what an interesting fragrance. Interesting bad or interesting good, I’m really not sure. When I first put it on, I wanted to immediately take it off again. The clove and leathery notes were extremely sharp and almost chemical in nature. I wanted to gag. However, once the drydown started, I noticed more of the rose, and the clove smell calmed down. Also, the roses made their debut at this point, and they’re a very pretty and delicate rose scent with a light soapy touch. It’s definitely the best rose perfume I’ve come across for my chemistry, and I like the leather note, but I just don’t know if I can handle the clove bomb at the beginning. Pinrose is familiar but different, and that’s not a bad thing. I think I might put it on a “standby” purchase list if the other perfumes I wish to try don’t pan out for something different.

This reminds me of one of juliette has a gun’s rosey perfumes. I can’t think of which one at the moment though, pretty sure it’s lady vengeance. Very nice but not my cup of tea.

I don’t think this smells like POAL at all, it’s a soft powdery soft base mixed with delicate, slightly raspberry jam’d rose with not a smidge of patchouli in sight. Very ballerina-esque.

Pinrose smells like a very close dupe of Malle’s Portrait of a Lady. I didn’t have the latter to compare this side by side, but it was such a dead ringer that if I had smelled it off of someone else, POAL is what I would have guessed it was.
I get the jammy rose and the vanilla, but I also get quite a bit of incense and labdanum. I don’t get much clove despite it being listed as a note, but it could just be really well blended.
