Wow, this is so good. That smell chic and striking Rose and Geranium, pleases me very much, I feel all the quality of this mixture well established.
I classify it thus:
Smell: 9/10
Projection: 8.5/10
Longevity: 7.5/10

Czech & Speake ROSE cologne is a pleasant blend of floral notes with rose and geranium as the most dominant. I initially thought that this was going to be a version of rose water, but it is quite a bit more complex, although it lives up to its name by highlighting the rose and the rose geranium. I do believe that I detect a touch of patchouli, mimosa, and ylang, but they are very subtle and well-blended and serve to complement the focal rose rather than calling attention to themselves.
This composition is very natural smelling and seems to me to be of equal quality to the Jo Malone colognes. I find this Czech & Speake cologne to have bigger sillage and better longevity than most colognes, and I am glad that I have decided to explore this line. They have an excellent sample program, with attractive carded samples available online for a modest price.

To me this EdC doesn’t smell much like rose at all, but rather more like a piercingly sharp combination of citrus, geranium, and a perfume-y almost ambergris-type base, probably created by the interaction of geranium and patchouli.
As it dries down I start to detect a little bit of rose that reminds me of old-fashioned rose-scented soap, which, it turns out, is the main theme. Within 2-3 hours the whole scent has faded away. I liked the zingy opening better than the main act featuring weak rose soap. Moreover, C&S No. 88 is a much better rose scent from this house.

A clean, clear, soapy pink rose soliflore, with almost nothing beyond that singular note. Pleasant, well-made, and uplifting. The soapiness makes the rose smell a trifle synthetic, but then again I have yet to smell a realistic rose anywhere. Worth a try if you’re a rose lover, and next to Dark Rose as my favorite in the Czech & Speake lineup.

I’m not sure about this one. I am very fond of roses usually and I have tried many marvelous rose scents, but this somehow doesn’t do the trick for me. I’m not sure – why. It is cologne, maybe I over applied, but this on my wrist appears very strong, almost sharp and hard to inhale. My boyfriend who is in the same room after me applying asked what’s the sudden smell and said it feels weird. And it does. The rose here is soapy and very fresh, but other notes (can’t actually say which one) is making this a metallic mess.

This isn’t so much a rose as anticipation of a rose. To me it’s like a tight pale pink rose bud that is just beginning to unfurl it’s petals.
When I was small I used to try and pull apart the petals on these to get to that mysterious ‘something’ inside, of course I just destroyed the flower and never found it’s heart. I killed the goose that layed the golden egg.
I’m waiting, waiting for that rose to open and the anticipation is killing me, but just as it begins to throw itself open it rains heavily, bruises, turns brown and begins to decay before it ever reached the height of its beauty.
It’s a little green, a little sappy, a little sour and a little rotten, but by no means unpleasant. I do pick up a little carnation.
Lasting power is not great, I have compensated by over-spraying and believe me, it IS possible to overdo this. I get a very positive reaction from strangers, people start looking around for the source of the scent and when it’s been located I get big beaming smiles !
Best applied little and often, it’s very unfortunate that they only make this in whopping great bottles as a purse spray of this would be ideal for touch ups. Czech & Speake really are missing a trick with their insistence on magnum-size containers.
I like it, but there are other glorious rose fragrances around, and I’m not sure I can justify the expense that a bottle of that size demands.

This is a light and nice rose, which is somewhat longlasting for a cologne. It smells somewhat like Agent Provocateur, without the overpowering provocativeness.
Something to try out if you are fond of roses.
