recommendations for a rose based perfume

Some avenues to explore here and so may thanks. I was thinking of the Rose of Bulgaria as a starter (cheap enough) to see how I actually take to a rose scent.

Thanks again chaps
 
I don't think you need to look any further than C&S No.88 but VC&A Pour Homme, Floris No.89, Penhaligon's Hammam Bouquet and Aramis 900 have all been in my collection at various times.

My day-to-day scent (Chanel Antaeus) has the same sort of 'feel' (gosh, don't I sound like such a pretentions bell-end?) without being a specifically 'rose' scent.
 
Today I received the No.88 samples from Czeck and Speake and I have to admit I think I may have found exactly what I imagine a pleasant rose scent to be. My wife thinks it takes to my nature nicely. I really love this fragrance and wouldn't be surprised if I post shortly in 'July acquisitions'

Thanks again all you great folk
 
I have received a number of fragrance samples today, Czech & Speake No88 amongst them. I have to say that I am absolutely loving the scent, it's so unique and complex, great longevity too. I can also see me treating myself to this cologne at some point.

I loved the scent that much I recently received a bottle from C&S. My wife equally adores the scent. As it transpired she also loves the ladies Dark rose sample and I guess with her birthday just around the corner......................................

Fantastic! I'm not jealous in the slightest. I never thought that rose would be something that would appeal to me but No88 is rose with a twist, very cleverly done. Enjoy.
 
C&S No. 88 is indeed a great one. Just spray it lightly. The newest Eau de Parfum of the same scent is also worth trying.

You should also check out:
Chanel Egoiste (make sure you're not getting the 'Platinum' version as that's a different scent)
Maison Francis Kurkdjian Lumière Noir (men's version)
Amouage Lyric Man
Paestum Rose by Eau d' Italie
 
Just send an email to Czech and Speake and they will be more than happy to send you a couple of samples. They really are a lovely company with terrific customer services.

See my last SOTD for how wonderful they have been with me over the broken bottle
