  • In this video, I’m sharing my first impressions of two luxurious rose fragrances: Perris Monte Carlo Rose de Taif and Memo Paris Argentina. I’ll break down how Rose de Taif’s fresh, vibrant take on the rose contrasts with Argentina’s lush, romantic blend of rose, oud, and florals. Both offer different interpretations of this iconic flower, and I’ll discuss their sillage, opening impressions, and how they develop on the skin. Whether you love a bright, airy rose or a deeper, more seductive floral, this comparison will help you decide which one fits your style.

    Yoy should really try hypnotizing fire either the EDP or the parfum on this rose journey, would love to hear your detailed breakdown and thoughts on it.
    Really glad I stumbled on your profile by the way. One of my go-to's for good honest reviews which seems to be very hard to find on UA-cam these days.

    Fantastic video Daniel as usual.
    My interest was piqued when I saw Memo, but the competition sounds very good indeed. I find these comparisons very interesting because you find two fragrances that might be in the same wheelhouse. I love rose but I am a big believer that it is fantastic for men and women.
    I will probably give the Memo a try but will keep your words in mind.

      @@SeldomlyOften Most of the fragrances from this brand is marketed towards women and this is why they do have some hidden gems in my opinion. Based on my experience - Rose Berberanza - opens with a pistachio note and dries down to a vanilla/boozy rose. There is also l’Autre Oud - dry rose and oud, saffron combo - classic but well done. Oud Bouquet is a strong dark chocolate oud and rose. Been sampling some others which are more green and dewy. Basenotes/Fragrantica can give you an overview of the line. Most of them have a sweet/edible facet but I think can be easily pulled off by men. If you decide to sample this line from the brand you might be surprised.

    How do you feel about Atomic Rose (Initio)? Rich dense 3D rose but all naturals. For me it's a bath full of roses pulled fresh from the ground, stems leaves thorns and everything, the roots and soil dumped brutally in the water. I will never be without a bottle (can say this only of a few), it's quite something. I also wish someone like Bisch would dirty it up with some (a little) suede musk and ozonics on top and civet in the base so it felt like the roses were ripped fresh from the ground and kind of mauled, but we can dream

      As far as rose fragrances, I’ve only sampled a few(Portrait of a Lady, Papillon Tobacco Rose, and Tauer PHI-Une Rose de Kandahar come to mind). I’d love to hear a comparison or review of the Tauer, as I’m still on the fence with this one after having blind bought a bottle. After adjusting my expectations, I do like it for what it is to my nose…almost like a dry, dusty flaky rose flavored pastry(not sweet). It reminds me somehow of Fougere Bengale by Parfum d’Empire, which is also a bit dry, just a touch sweet, and smells of a spiced bread. They are quite different, but my reaction to them has been similar, as I slowly warmed up to that one as well. But for the price of the Tauer, I feel like I could have something I love much more, than just a like.
