I had a sample of this that I received with several others and first sniff didn't have much impact, fast forward about a year when I found this group of samples in the bottom of a drawer. Thinking...

No. Not even samples. There is a component of the "no" that is personal, in that I don't have much liking or interest in pepper as a note. Love it in food, bland/mild dislike in fragrances. But...

Oh niches... Sometimes very overrated & hyped. "Rose Poivree" by The Different Company smells very much like YARDLEY "English Rose". Only Yardley's rose is sharper. Not 100% identical, but yet...

In general, I try to be as nice as possible. I aspire to Tim Gunn-esque manners and poise, and good posture. Occassionally, however, the bad me comes out - and Rose Poivree is the bad me. A...

The cumin in this turned me off, reminds me of body odour mixed with rose leaves. And I get more coriander than rose. Thank goodness I got this at a fire sale, can't believe the price they charge...

I came late to the party. By the time I bought my first bottle it was 2009 and I bet my bottle, which I bought direct from TDC, is a reformulated one if a reformulation was ever done. I don't...

Rose Poivree is the most interesting rose I have ever met. If oversimplified: it's a rose stewed in the most traditional Indian curry you can imagine. I think I'm partial to coriander scents and...

This is a dirty-sexy spiced rose fragrance... kind of like a 'rose in heat.' I detect more spices than just Coriander in this... possibly cumin. It reminds me at times of a good Moroccan Rhas El...

I have seen in so many reviews which came before mine of filth being present in the scent but I canot sense it. Yes.. it is a bit risky in a very low key feminine way... but such comments as "be...

My skin simply ignores skank (Muscs Koublai Khan was tender and mild on me), so I got no skank from this. I did, however, get the harsh alkaline/soapy opening that most expensive rose scents have...

Enticingly dirty and overtly sexy. The rose is only there to soften up the spices a bit. Nowhere near office compliant. It needs a woman confident in her sexuality. However, it is not one of those...

man would I like zero to be an option in scoring this one - HATRED. It is so revolting on me I can't even tell you. It's all true - the unwashed underwear note accusations .. The skankiest,...

Some people suspect that this has been reformulated, as it is not quite as dirty as it's reputation would have one believe. I have to admit that as a lover of animalistic fragrances I was...

I think there have been enough comments about the impolite nature of this fragrance, suffice to say I find it immediately recreates the scent of a palm house; hot damp earth, rich florals, lush...

Rose Poivrée is unusual in a sense that, on me, it is a true wafter. Even an hour into the spritz, the scent still hovers about me like an undulating, stubborn aura. Unfortunately, this is one of...

A different rose scent, indeed. I am on the fence whether I like it or not... It is so masculine I find! Well, not a classic rose, but with a distinct personality. The pepper is strong in it,...

I have been intrigued by Rose Poivree ever since I first smelled it. It smells like an elegant old rose fragrance to which dashes of smoky peppers and berries have been added. It dries down...

This is not scent I wear very often, but I felt I had to weigh in, since so many reviewers find it rankly unpleasant! I must have the cool, dry skin the scent requires, because on me it is mildly...
