Young, sweet rose. Very pleasant. Clean.

The gardenia definitely comes through more prominently in the beginning, almost overpowering the Rose, but the rose and gardenia notes eventually harmonize beautifully after about an hour or two of wear. A simple but elegant fragrance.

I’m a rosarian and I could write ad nauseum about the fragrances of different rose species and cultivars. Although there are thousands of roses throughout the world, there is a distinctive perfume recognized universally as “rose”. I find this fascinating. There was a time in my life I decided I must wear “only” rose based perfumes, because they seemed to be an external manifestation of “me”. After trying and owning so many rose perfumes I can’t even remember them all, I decided that, ironically, I wasn’t a huge fan of wearing the smell of roses. After some more time I realized I wasn’t very fond of rose perfumes because, to me, none truly evoked the beauty and mystery of the aroma of roses. (Many rose fragrances smell “alive” when they are in their bottles, i.e. Fleur de Thé Rose Bulgare, Perfumer’s Workshop Tea Rose, Jo Malone Red Roses, Avon Roses Roses; but as they mix with my skin, etc. they lose their magic). Kai Rose is the opposite. In the bottle it smells like rose perfume oil…but on the skin…it’s resplendent and outstanding. I thought I would layer it with my beloved Kai, but I love Kai Rose so much, I wear it on its own. To my nose it smells like an array of freshly bloomed cream-and-pink, sweet Double Delight roses, in a garden near lemon and orange blossoms, on a warm, sunny day. I don’t pick up gardenia as a note on its own (unless layered with Kai, of course). Kai rose makes me feel euphoric, and positive. It is the energetic yin to Kai’s relax, calming yang. I treasure it.

rose perfumes almost invariably turn pee-smelling on me; this one did not! instead it goes from gloriously fresh rose to an almost gourmand candy vibe before settling down as powder. i wish i liked either. sillage is very soft, longevity was 12+ hours on my bathrobe but ~3 hours everywhere else. edit: the edt is more powdery, the oil more candy-y

I underestimated this beauty of a rose fragrance. Perfumed oils have never really smelled that great on me (maybe I wasn’t wearing the right kind) but literally this smells unbelievably intoxicating. This is so rich and ethereal at the same time. A lovely sillage for at least 3 hours and then it becomes one with your skin. I smell amber, gardenia and rose. My lanyard from my keys smells strongly of this and my jean jacket that I have been wearing with this on smells of the most intoxicating ambery rose feminine smell, similar to the drydown of Stella! I love and have Stella as my signature from time to time so if they make an eau de parfum of this, I definitely am getting it. However, the perfumed oil seems to be so strong on its own and complex as well. It does change throughout the day which is the beauty of it.

I ordered it as I am a big fan of Kai in general. Kai Rose disappointed me. From different reviews I’d read, I’d hoped that it would be a gardenia and sparkly, light rose combination. Here, at least on my skin, I can smell heavy rose as if you took rose petals, put them into a small box to keep the scent and they dried – that’s Kai Rose on me. Gardenia is barely noticeable under the rose veil and as much as I’d love to love it, I just can’t.

Just received my tiny bottle. I wonder if they will eventually make this in the edp like reg. Kai. I smell a beautiful Rose with a Gardenia that makes it very creamy. I think the Magnolia blends in to keep it modern and airy. I think it will be wonderful to wear on its own esp. at night in the summer or layered under some of my other rose perfumes. Not the most groundbreaking fragrance but this is done well. If you love regular Kai oil I can see you loving this one. I do get very animalic undertones wafting in and out. Might be more complex then I originally thought. I will have to keep wearing it to figure it out. Enjoy your day out there.
