I came across this fragrance house recently and something told me that I would love Roses Musk. I bought it on an impulse and I am so glad I did! I love everything about it.
This is the perfect fragrance for me as I needed something which had this kind of sillage and longevity. I also like oud a lot and this is an incredible blend of rose, oud and musk.
For some reason I never liked rose as a fragrance but I really fell in love with this and just ordered a second bottle. The bottle is a delightful pink creation and looks so pretty.
vgrushko – :
Smells little short of IDENTICAL to Roses Vanille from Mancera. Don’t care for that one, don’t care for this either.
yunao – :
A gorgeous rose soliflore. Fresh and linear; not soapy on my skin. Really enjoying this!
cccpyc – :
The first blast of this is exactly as the name suggests – roses and musk. At this stage it screams summer to me. Kind of makes me think of swimming in a chlorinated pool surrounded by blooming roses. As it dries down, the musk really fades and the rose gets jammy and I start to get some peony and amber? The dry down is very reminiscent of Stella McCartney. The performance of this baby is pretty awesome. Love.
ggr406Diobtetty – :
This perfume is as the name suggests: rose and musk.
On my skin, the rose has a lovely soft opening but most of the smell is indeed musk. It is a pleasant musk and doesn’t have the kind of nastiness that can be off-putting to some (mainly other people).
As a proud owner of Aoud Queen Roses which lasts for (literally) days, I’m disappointed that this perfume does not last for more than about 2.5 hours on me.
After that, it’s a sweet musk that stays very close to the skin.
This is a good foray into Montale for the novice – it isn’t very intense and it will be a nice easing in into the richer and heavier fragrances of this house.
fev972Bessinepome – :
I love this perfume and it’s well on it’s way to being my signature.
Believe me, this is a ROSE bomb. You will smell the rose – so don’t go into this not expecting crazy amounts of rose.
Alongside the rose is a deep, animal musk that makes the rose sexy.
The musk and rose notes are all I really get from this perfume; there aren’t a lot of notes. I do get the jasmine note in there, making it very feminine and floral. I just love it. It’s not jammy, fruity, or sweet – it’s just sexy, strong rose.
HobAppole – :
This is the best rose scent I’ve ever smelled.
Excellent longevity and incredible sillage, the rose note is sweet, soft, fresh, fruity.
The drydown is awesone, with the musk and a hint of jasmine and amber.
This is a masterpiece, feminine, sensual yet very elegant, a must have for rose lovers.
What a lovely gem! My new love.
MAGNIFICENT.
alien_ – :
I find this quite similar to Mancera’s Roses Greedy, which I adore (though Fragrantica won’t let me add it above as a similar frag, for some reason…). This smells like exactly the same rose, layered over a bit more musk.
I suppose I didn’t really need them both but I’m reluctant to let either go. Mancera and Montale both have a way with this sort of fresh, juicy, jammy rose. It’s sweet but not candyish, and smells fun and playful. I get TONS of compliments on this as well as Roses Greedy.
Great sillage & longevity on this one too.
fanta62 – :
I own PdM’s Delina and I now have a decant of Roses Musk! I’ve read comparisons between the two before and was curious to see exactly how similar they are. Smelling Roses Musk now, I can say with confidence that the roses in both fragrances are nearly identical: fresh, photo-realistic sweet roses devoid of powder. There are a few differences at play with the rest of their compositions, however.
Roses Musk is exactly what it says on the tin–roses grounded in musk. The musk in the base of this perfume is prominent; I’d say this perfume is about 70% roses and 30% musk. Delina has musk in it too, but it’s not nearly as important in that fragrance, as Delina also contains a number of fruity elements that make that scent sweet and fresh and not nearly as animalic as Roses Musk. Roses Musk is the sexier of the two. That’s where the differences end, however. If you own one, you honestly don’t need to own the other. What you choose depends on whether you want a fruity, sweet rose or a sexy, animalic rose. Both scents are great though, you really can’t go wrong with either.
FachChals – :
So in love. This is perfect for workplace.
This is my second review. This is a rose RARE DIAMOND. This is a heavenly scent,. The rose and musk mixture is so sensuel, lasts all day!
jane198326 – :
So I told myself that I HAVE to write a review on this perfume so here I am.
I bought a 100ml bottle from the duty free of an airport without thinking too much because I heard soo many people talking about it. After I bought it, i started reading reviews about it àd some people said that it smells horrible and it reminds of a cheap old cologne. So I was kind of hesitating whether to open the bottle or not.
I finally decided to open it and I thought I’ll have a heart attack after i smelled it on my skin. This is simply a fabulous mix between the fresh cut roses and musk. I couldn’t stop smelling my wrists and my hair. It makes me feel so feminine. It is so soft yet so scented. Smells delicious yet not too sweet. And i get asked a lot what am I wearing when I wear it.
For those that love Chloe Chloe this would be an absolute must for special datenights/special occasions.
Insoncovono – :
Pre-Word: I don’t love roses, I like them but more clearly – I don’t mind them. Since up to date I have not found a genuine freshly-cut roses scent…
The roses in the beginning are freshly cut red roses, very light and sensual, not cloyeing or overpowering at all – would be perfect for those who preper LIGHT FLORALS. At the moment I thought that it would be my ultimate rose scent, but it dissapeared after exact 1 hour! The scent was Close to skin for the next 4-5 hours with musky base. Not Worth FB.
This would be perfect for re-applying if you are looking for a very gentle rose scent.
ZeMMa – :
i simply love it and people always say compliments about the smell,especially men:)
Kichavolodumur – :
I’m not considering myself a huge rose fan, it is not at all that I dislike roses in a perfume but normally, I just tend not to go for roses (maybe I haven’t met the perfect match yet even though a have a handful of rose favorites). Roses have such a wide range of characteristics and can be everything from a dark, dusty and dramatic rose to a fresh light rose with greenish notes, or a classical vampy red one. The roses in Roses Musk are sweet and sugary, like their soft bright red petals are coated in sugar. The roses also have a voluptuous and classical vibe that in the base gets more creamy, as they blend with the soft musk.
Roses Musk is easily one of the best rose scents I have ever tried, much due to its sweetness and almost eatable character and also to its ability to be both bright and luxurious, and inoffensive at the same time. The roses equivalent to wrapping yourself in a soft, almost glittery cloud of deliciousness!
ivachko2009 – :
Have to say I’m not a fan of rose scents , but this blew me away.
I tried it and fell in love, it gets better and better,the rose is not harsh ,it’s a very delicate and fresh rose, blends so well with the musk.
Later on it smells very edible, smells like a macaroon.
Great for date night.
Imagine the beginning of your first relationship, you might be shy and innocent(delicate fresh rose) , be aware of your words and acts, as time goes by you get more confident(creamy, sugared rose), that’s how I would describe this perfume.
It starts romantic, and later on becomes very sexy.
Such a masterpiece!
clilmishannit – :
i’m a huge fan of rose scents and this is probably my most luxurious smelling rose perfume. there is a unique balance of rose and musk where they come together instead of overpowering each other. i’ve noticed men go crazy over this scent and women don’t particularly like this when they first smell it but it definitely grows on them and they become obsessed. this is the type of perfume that lets itself be known. i always get compliments whenever i wear it. most often i get told this smells like you walked into a room full of rose soaps almost to a point where it can be suffocating and intoxicating at the same time. it’s a little too potent but it’s also one of the longest wearing perfumes i’ve experienced and you don’t need much of it. this is not a clean, flirty, or light rose perfume. it almost smells artificial in a way. this might be a weird way to describe a scent but it smells like a concentrated rose petal essential oil in a perfume form, like an infused rose oil with lots of musk and a touch of sweetness. i personally don’t smell much jasmine in this it just has that soap powder smell that comes off as jasmine. (if you notice a lot of perfumes have jasmine as a base) this is something you would wear on a night out or on a first date. roses de chloe smells very similar to this but less musky and definitely more delicate. most rose perfumes are flirty or romantic or fresh but i’ve never smelled a rose scent that was truly mesmerizing. if this smelled less like pure sex i’d wear it everyday lol. definitely a signature scent.
annoliKaw – :
I had a small sample from dept store laying around and decided to try this since I have never tried a Montale fragrance. Smells like roses, musk, and some floral back notes. It also smells like a quality fragrance along the lines of TF quality but from what I see online, it is priced much lower.
I do not see any issues here… seems like an excellent fragrance if you like the scent which is linear.
Империя Тату – :
My first wearing of Roses Musk was to my grandfather’s funeral, three weeks ago. I swore I would never wear it again. Not least because I will always associate it with his passing, but because it has this sharp, chemical-y smell and is really, really strong! I only own a sample, but I can imagine one spray to be too much. I have Jasmine Full, and it is equally strong. Strength is something I usually look for in perfumes because most are not strong enough. But Montales are strong to the point of being repellant. I’m guessing it’s because they use very good quality essential oil in high concentration. This can distort the smell we usually associate with real flowers, e.g. rose, jasmine. Such pure oils are so rich they can overload our noses and be perceived as awful. Despite my stupidity of wearing it to a funeral, I wish this scent appealed to me more (roses with musk, for heaven’s sake!). But it doesn’t.
UPDATE: I am trying a “smearing” of it (maybe 1/10th of a spray), but it still has a nasty, repellant smell. Still strong. So why did they bother to make an Intense version?
poKJhvyuBJNKmk – :
I got my deluxe sample through a monthly subscription service and something must be off. It smells like roses sprayed with chemicals, not the loveliness others are describing. I tried to so a skin spray, but the chemical smell was really overwhelming. 🙁
kolya.tchub – :
beautiful combination or Roses Jasmin ans Musk.lasts all day on me and people compliment a lot on this perfume.
lasts on cloth for days
HadnepHicency – :
This is NOT Bond 9 Perfumista Ave, I have that one & have worn it enough to know the difference.This is more Rose, PA has the Saffron . However, this may be one of THE BEST True Rose Scents I have Ever smelled in my life! Gorgeously Blended. I could smell the Rose when I opened the box , I looked to make sure it had not leaked. Nope! Just that prominent. This gets 10 stars from me & is already officially a HG Perfume in my Arsenal!!! Thank You Montale, love your Chocolate Greedy as well. I may wear these together, just b/c I always mix things to try. This one is better Than Si Rose & Chloe, altho I like those as well. I will be reviewing this on YT~ Natalie N
hiphophippy – :
I recently purchased a sample of this. I am not sure if the sample wasn’t off or something, but what I smelled was the worst rose fragrance that I have ever tried, and no musk at all. It should be called rose alcohol. I do not think the sample was diluted either because I could see and feel the oil in it, and could smell it well into the next day, even after bathing. If it was beautiful that would be awesome, but it’s awful…just awful. I doubt I will even sample another Montale fragrance.
kosoj458 – :
True definition of ROSES MUSK!
This is like rose water mixed with musk.. I can never ask for a better scent. Its so so so sweet, but not the kinda sweet you get bored of or the one that’s so heavy, it grosses you out. The moment I spray it, people ask to borrow it or ask me what I’m wearing.
It smells so heavenly and fresh.. roses fresh not citrusy fresh.
I looove pairing it with all my perfumes, especially after a shower, I rub some scented musk oil all over me and then spray this perfume on my skin. When I put on my clothes, I use whatever perfume I choose to wear, and then this one on top again.
This perfume is light, which makes it perfect to use early in the morning, it won’t disturb you or those around you. I just wish it was heavier because it doesn’t last that long on you, I find myself constantly reapplying it.
Very light, sweet and refreshing.. feminine too. A must have I’d say.
arrerbtus – :
This is a winter day or maybe night spice rose scent. I can barely smell the rose note but the musk which makes it a warm scent. This product is not for me, because of the slight rose note.
vika84 – :
A little bit rosy but has spiciness, yesterday I tested it and I can smell a little bit of that musk. Long lasting and sillage is good. Worth to try it.
Katya23 – :
This is really special. I love Rose perfumes, I have a bunch in my collection and I love my Roses dewy, light and fresh. The quality of this one is outstanding. It’s pretty linear and does not develop much which in this particular case I really appreciate because I love this Rose that much. I first heard this on a friend on NY’s eve and this scent lasted all night. It also filled the room, made any other scent seem blah. It was magical. She was generous and let me spray it on my wrist. Bliss. Then I got it. Not as amazing on me but I won’t give up. The best rose in my collection for sure.
svitachev – :
I really like it. It has the rose note but I also smell a lemon note.
diablik3g – :
A cloying rose & musk combo.
margosochi29 – :
Rose is my absolute favorite note. So when this one opened up with such a rich, juicy rose note, I was thrilled for all of 5 minutes. Now I have MUSK!!!!! with a teeny hint of rose and jasmine. Very disappointing. I’m glad I only got the subscription vial from Sc*ntb*rd.

This smells almost identical to the much more affordable Wisal Dhahab Ajmal. Slightly sweet, fizzy, warm rose, musk, white flower and cedar scent. Save yourself a ton of money and buy the Wisal Dhahab Ajmal which may even be touch more beautiful as well since it’s a touch warmer, richer with more patchouli

@Christianne1: My dear after reading your riveting review, I decided to scrap mine, because you capsulized EVERYTHING that needs to be said about this beauty… In fact, I am recommending to ALL FRAGHEADS out there to “stalk” Christianbe1(in a good way
barmaley – :
In my mind, It is the best rose perfume for the best occasion. Its scent is a transparent rose, well balancing between rose and musk, but very long lasting. Someone may think this perfume is generic but many perfumes with rose are immortal, including this gem. I love you, Roses Musk Montale.
Spiegli – :
To me… Avon’s Roses, Roses from many years ago with a bit or two of something else added. Thin, superficial, disappointing. And this is after eight hours of evaluation– pretty much the same all the way through.
rjnrepmvf – :
I’ve had this on for about 15 minutes. Simple, lovely, potent! Pure lovely rose on opening. Goes a little chemical, metallic quickly at about 2 minutes on me. 5 minutes in goes violety/raisiny and is better, loses the metallic. Settling in with some soft powdery note added.
aqt432Diobtetty – :
Trying Roses musk was a kind of eye-opener for me. Though I like both rose and musk, I suddenly realized that it is the combination that does not work at all for me. It has indeed similarity to Juliette has a gun Mad madam as an earlier reviewer mentioned, another of the (few) scents I dislike.
Faza – :
Sharp,metallic, dirty rose. I find it identical to Juliette Has a Gun Mad Madame. And I like it! Unique, extravagant and sexy.
vandam2011 – :
What a luminous romantic rose. The opening is very bright, with the jasmine really coming through, but it is the dry-down that’s amazing. I’m intrigued that this is called roses musk because what I smell is more of a woody base rather than musk. My nose wants to characterize this with all the other rose-oud blends I’ve encountered.
Longevity is amazing. I can spray this on and sometimes it will linger very faintly even after a shower. Gorgeousness in a bottle. I have to get my hands on the intense version.
aleks-redis – :
This isn’t a dewy rose, a green rose, or an earthy rose. It’s like an abstraction of dried rose petals. It’s very romantic. This is a rose for people who want their roses unadulterated with other superfluous flowers and needless complications. I love that.
Depending on the day and the application, I get more or less of… ambroxan, perhaps? Something in it smells distinctly synthetic. BUT, even so it’s one of the best pure roses I’ve found so far on this short little perfume quest, simple yet effective.
10/10/15: After 4 trials, I’m sorry to say this doesn’t work for me. That uber creamy synthetic note becomes overwhelming in the drydown. If only they had used just a little bit less in the composition.
NACTYA-1 – :
I had this fragrance purchased for me abroad without actually knowing what this smells like, only be recommendation from people who like the same fragrances that I do (Chloe and Rodriguez edt).
From the description I expected a warm, soft flowery scent with some musky warmth to it. I was so wrong! This scent is beautifully clean but also quite strong and striking.
I can barely smell it on myself but many people have commented on how great I smell. You definitely need only a tine spray of it to smell for miles!
If you’re into clean, smart scents which are not over mixed and heavy you will definitely enjoy this,
Shkodnik – :
I rarely wear women’s fragrances, but I adore this one. It’s sweet and feminine without being sugary, and while I don’t agree with many reviews that call this a “masculine rose,” it certainly breaks away from heavier, more cloying ones. This is *not* the rose of Stella or Juliette Has a Gun’s “Lady Vengeance” (though each has its charms). Reminds me a bit of the rose note in Chloe, but the musk tempers it a lot. Initial scent brought me back to being a teenager in Alabama – wanting to be grown, but with a touch of innocence. The musk is the sexy part, but the rose is youthful and sparkling. Every time I smell this, it reminds me of being a tour guide at an antebellum home in my hometown. It’s clean, classic, and straight from the garden.
Wear: I find that I tend to douse it on much more than one should do with a Montale, but it has a surprising longevity and an intimate sillage that catches me off guard. Indeed, the main reason I purchased this one is that it would surprise me with a whiff of beauty 10 or 11 hours into one of my crazy summer workdays. The top notes are going to last, and there’s not much development on the skin, but there doesn’t need to be with a simple and evocative scent like this one.
llu092intitytek – :
Yesterday I wore a sample of this, the opening is indeed roses but not the heavy stuff like Fleur de Bulgarie by Creed. It is frivolous but light and fresh. It is well supported by the musk. To my olfactory senses gthis is a perfect combination. It is very well balanced and keeps the opening notes thoughout wearing it (!??!). And what is more, the longevity is baffling. I woke up this morning and had a reminiscence. I will definitely buy this fragrance when my collection decreases a bit.
gtg547Bessinepome – :
Ordered this as a blind buy via the reviews, bought it from the official website, that I have been using since 2013 and it came today and there is something definitely wrong with the perfume as it doesn’t smell of anything, if I was to press my nose into my hand I could just make something out, I dont know if this a one off or ? So just to warn people, but the other perfume (chocolate greedy) which I have ordered several times prior is fine, so I will wait and see what the customer services respond, but if I am stuck with it, it’s a lot of money to waste 100 euros for something which isnt even as strong as eau de cologne.
** Update – 08/08 – I have tried to contact Montale’s customer service, no reply, re-sent and then an error undelivered email received, messaged on facebook, no reply, so that’s customer service for you, you spend 100 euros/£70/$110 and the item is faulty (as it smells of nothing) and your stuck with it **
Dimo4kin – :
Roses Musk Montale (tested from a dabber)
This is a beautiful, bright, feminine rose fragrance.
At the opening, the rose is delicate, sweet and fresh and sour. After a time on my skin, the rose builds and becomes more sultry from the amber. The musk is also really nice lending a delicate animalic touch to the scent.
The scent does not really develop on my skin, that doesn’t bother me at all. It is really easy to wear and gets me the most compliments out of all of the Montales I have sampled.
gilvova85 – :
I don’t even know where to begin with this scent, only that I love this scent so much and it holds a very special place in me.
I bought this scent around 1.5 years ago and I love it more and more everyday. This scent has such an emotional attachment to me as I met my boyfriend during the 1.5 years and experienced the best moments and made incredible memories that I will never forget. Everywhere I went, everywhere we travelled I’ve taken this bottle of sweetness with me. You know those type of scents that reminds you of so many memories, well this is my nostalgic perfume. Every time I smell it I get a vivid imagination of a moment in the past. I will be using this perfume for as long as they sell it to make many more incredible memories in the future.
The scent is so beautiful, mysterious and sexy. It is definitely very sweet and girly with the main note being sweet roses. It has many different notes to it that I cannot describe but makes the scent so complex and unique. My boyfriend goes crazy over this scent and he loves it just as much as I do. It is so long lasting and very strong. It can last on me all day long! It is definitely a sensual scent to me and reminds me of a strong woman.
myhai93 – :
I find this perfume transcendentally beautiful.Roses musk opens with a pure Rose scent.This is rapidly joined by a prickly,peppery Jasmine which gives Roses Musk some depth.Then the cuddly white musk warms up this composition in the drydown.This perfume is very long lasting in my opinion,with moderate silage.
assigTootte – :
The 2015 sample which i received a few days ago from euroshop smelled like roses and ambroxan pure.
I do not recall how it smelled the old times but now this rose scent smells much much synthetic.It´s a pity.
barmalei09 – :
Long lasting sweet dried rose, not an ultra fresh dewy rose, though not a powdery dried rose, pretty and lady-like and very wearable. Incredible longevity, and pretty decent sillage especially as I’m not a heavy spritzer.
There’s a sort of subtle fruity note somewhere in there, and that jasmine to add a freshness to the composition. Not very complex, very Montale, but I have to say as linear as they often are, they are quality fragrances in terms of staying power and deeply likeable
gbuha – :
One of the best rose fragrances.
Very long lasting, powerful projection. It smells niche!
It has no similarity with PR Black XS.
yurniks – :
The first time I tried this perfume, I have to be honest I wasn’t impressed at all. I finished of my sample and forgot about it. Fast forward to 2 years later…
Few weeks ago, I ordered Hedonist Rose, and when I first tried it, I knew I smelled something familiar, almost identical. And the more I smelled HR the more I thought about the familiar smell, which was Roses Musk by Montale. Weird right? So, over the period of 3 days, I became obsessed with the idea that I want a full bottle of Roses Musk, I ordered one and now I’m so in love with it, that I want to get rid of most of the fragrances in my wardrobe and wear only this!
What do they put in this stuff? Cause it’s amazing! It smells like lightest, purest most innocent rose, but with a kick, not like your average rose perfume.
The only problem that I have with Montale fragrances is that at a distance they are amazing, but as you put your nose to your wrists, it smells very chemical. The same thing happens with Roses Musk but only in the first 2 hours, then it smells beautiful even up close.
So, if you written this off at first, second, third sniff, thinking it’s just generic average rose fragrance, think again! This is gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous, LOVE it!
I get about 4-5 hours out of it, sometimes more sometimes less, depending on the weather.
AlisaBustik – :
Nothing I haven’t smelled before but somehow Roses musk has bowled me over. I didn’t try it on my skin but chemistry wise I do think that scents can smell different on different skin but not vastly. I mention that because I got my girlfriend to try this as I had samples on both wrists at this point. I kept sniffing her throughout the day and this is what I thought.
Roses musk starts out with a very bright, juicy rose note which I deem to be feminine, possibly with the addition of jasmine? It’s too rosy for me in all honesty and being a Montale this ‘Opening’ period is longer than many perfumes but when settled it starts to shine.
The rose settles in and a soft white musk and I could swear an almost vanilla and patchouli at the back of this making it almost edibly beautiful. I smelled this in Belgium and just days earlier I’d been in Paris and eaten very fancy fresh Macarons with a rose flavour to many of them, this reminded me of that.
This is a lovely, powerful, long lasting but soft rose scent.
kopiwm – :
Just test-drove my brand-new sample of this, and I’m crushed. It started off as a lush, slightly spicy, “jammy” rose…and pretty much stayed that way for quite awhile. Now it’s dried down into something sharp, yucky, and generic that’s very reminiscent of some mainstream fragrance that I sampled last year at that well-known, black-and-white striped purveyor of all things beauty… Dammit!
Sexboys – :
This is one of my favourite fragrance, it’s simple but very likable.
On my skin opens with a very realistic and carnal rose along with a light and nice alcoholic smell that attenuates after a couple of hours.
At this point the musk became more detectable but not overly so, it just add a little smoothness.
The fragrance is quite unisex, clean, delicate and elegant.
It’s not sweet, fruity, powdery.
irretahip – :
Just a heavenly perfume…perfect mid-range rose, not too fresh & clean and not too dark…very heavy dose of musk and again the musk is the same, not too clean and not too dirty. Yet it remains light and airy..but has a richness to it. But the musk in this really sets it off. I literally could not stop sniffing myself even while grocery shopping. It is very long lasting yet I found myself respraying over and over because the first hour is just fabulous and I wanted to experience it over and over. It was 95 degrees today and this never felt too heavy. I just love it! Totally on my wish list now even though I have about 4,762 rose perfumes already. I am just a crack head strung out in a rose bush…I can’t stop.
UPDATE: Have a full bottle now. Love this stuff! Always appeals to me no matter my mood.
olgakurman – :
Does anyone else get a hint of hair coloring dye? I think that may be what the other reviewers perceived as sour. A lighter Stella with an odd hair dye scent.
PatrickJNK – :
Beautiful rose perfume!
It’s not fresh rose, it’s not green nor aquatic, not retrò…it’s soft, bit sweet, ambery, elegant rose. I guess the list of the notes is not complete – Roses Musk reminds me of 2000 et Une Rose of Lancome and there the main player is amber with vanilla. In comparison the longevity and silage of Roses Musk are amplified and very good. Or maybe there is ambroxan used in RM as the scent blooms amazingly.
If you love roses, try Roses Musk – it’s difficult to not like it!
nastia.frolova98 – :
I’m pretty much into both roses and musk, and also ambroxan and Montale products, however, this perfume did not manage to become a “love” for me.
It opens extremely peppery, I wonder where it comes from, but to me this amount of pepper is almost unbearable. I wonder what was that – definitely neither ambergris nor jasmine, I guess the pyramid here isn’t complete.
After an hour or two it dries down to bright roses and clean musk, a combination right up my alley, but still, I won’t add it to my collection as the first stage is not my cup of tea at all.
I find it similar to Laboratorio Olfattivo’s ROSAMUNDA, which is also spicy due to saffron, and also musky and obviously rosy, but overall gives me an impression of a more balanced composition, although not as dense and long lasting as ROSES MUSK is.
Try before you buy this one.
colnychko – :
I love it.
Love notes of jasmine and roses.
And here in this scent they did not disappoint me, sure shot 3 notes very well balanced and who marry, fantastic.
It smells totally unisex, since I stupid, perfumes that label women and men. Perfume is personal and if you identify with it, no matter if it was created for women or men, if the bottle is pink and girly, I like perfumes, and they me.
There is a great similarity in other perfume I own: Rose Oud of Monotheme
I rank it like this:
Smell: 9/10
Projection: 9.5/10
Longevity: 9/10

Few years ago, Montale house reformulated Roses Musk. Thank God I’ve managed to backup 2 big bottles of the original formula.
This used to be the best Roses Musk perfume!
acusecrary – :
It’s like a bouquet of roses with drops of musk. So unique and fresh. It’s a unisex perfume and not too sweet. It is luxurious perfume. The queen of montale perfumes.
gyurij – :
Delicate and beautiful. Hugely musky on opening, with a light rose scent. But wait for the dry down it’s amazing. Gorgeous rose and sweet jasmine going to head to head, with the powder just making it so fresh and clean. Intoxicating fragrance! Develops beautifully.

I have always been partial to rose and musk. This smells like fresh roses growing in the yard with a gentle breeze of musk. Nice and clean. Such a nice change from other rose fragrances that become muddled up with a lot of other scents and wears it down. I’m in love!

I’m not sure I can start talking about Roses Musk without getting tears falling down my face..
I’m sitting here, in front of a screen, I raise my scarf to smell the Roses..
That same fuchsia scarf was on my neck when I was once sitting all alone on a bench outside..
I will never forget that day.. I was so sad while a gentleman came close to give me a fresh-cut pink Rose.. he said “It matches your scarf miss”..
It was a cold November day, I was so lost in my world.. I just thanked him.
I never knew I loved Roses until that moment came.. You know.. That special moment when you think you are the ruler of the world but you suddenly realise that the world rules you..
That’s exactly what Roses Musk is.. It’s the ruler of my heart, my mind, my madness and my logic..
Roses Musk is delicate.. fragile.. it’s a sensational whisper full of promises
…reflected in the enchanted lovers eyes…
Don’t be fooled by it’s vulnerable nature.. Roses Mus
