GUERLAIN AQUA ALLEGORIA ROSA ROSSA REVIEWS
Fragrantica: I have been wearing this scent today. It is a very fruity rose, I don't have the original Rosa Rossa. The pyramid notes includes black currant and peach. I mostly get the black currant. But it also reminds me of the fruity smell of pera granita. The rose note is beautiful and persistent. It has a slightly soapy undertone in the drydown. It is very natural smelling.
The rose note reminds me of Sa Majeste La Rose without the green leaves notes. This scent is just amazing. It is long lasting and I feel I want a back up bottle.
Fragrantica: This is one of those perfumes that creates an immediate impression. Normally this would not be a scent I like at all but this is done so well. The roses absolutely shine and the black currant supports the roses perfectly.
Fragrantica: This is a comparison review between Rosa Rossa and Forte Rosa Rossa. One sprayed on each arm. Rosa Rossa - pure pink rose petals, straight from the garden. Slightly sweet, but not sugary. Delicate but with some depth. Think Roses De Chloe, Tea Rose, Paul Smith Rose, Bright Crystal. Forte Rosa Rossa - Less rose, slightly more bite. Tart peach with obvious cassis. Think Giorgio Armani Si Intense but lighter, with a ton of rose. This is good for those that want rose, but with a little attitude.
Fragrantica: The moment the sales associate sprayed Forte Rosa Rossa, my heart skipped a beat: I was greeted by a slightly sweet and fruity rose, which is how I love my rose scents. The combination of rose and cassis / blackcurrant usually smells heavenly to me. On skin, the fragrance lost some of its sweetness after around 30 minutes. At this point, rose, cassis and sandalwood dominated until around one hour into the drydown when the familiar soft muskiness of the Aqua Allegoria line started to appear. Now that the fragrance has fully dried down, it is indeed a little bit stronger than the original Rosa Rossa, but the muskiness took some of the initial magic and turned it into an average soft musky rose with an underlying sandalwoodiness. I see that many compare it to the Delina fragrances. Personally, I perceive the Delina line to be much stronger, muskier and fresher.
Fragrantica: If you love SUPER pink roses, this is for you. I think it's more similar to the Delina line than it is to the original Rosa Rossa, which has so much more citrus-freshness than this does. Forte Rosa Rossa is in-your-face cheery rose with a lot of sweetness on top of the rosiness, from the peach and benzoin. And now that I think about it, it has that in common with Guerlain's French Kiss too - the sweetness.
Fragrantica: I love Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Forte Rosa Rossa! It is a more refreshing rose — with hints of almonds and pink pepper. At first whiff on my skin I got some pink rose-pink pepper vibes. Then on dry down, it’s more of a almondy-musky rose vibe with a hint of cassis and some patchouli. I totally recommend this if you all want a more intense rose fragrance.
Fragrantica: ROSE UNEXPECTED...FINALLY. Thanks to the wizardry of perfumer Delphine Jelk. Beautiful rose-soda opens to a tropical, fresh, sparkling rose overlaying a woody Middle Eastern leaning rose. If you start with a sparkling tropical aquatic scent on one wrist, such as Aqua Allegoria Passiflora or Pera Granita, and on the other wrist you put a powdery, woody, spicy rose scent like Versace Woman 2000, or Rose 31 Le Labo, you would be in the ballpark. I tested this today in the store, on skin and on a card, and I don't really get a Delina Parfums de Marly vibe like I was expecting from this, despite the rose-litchi combo. This is well-blended, beautiful & refreshingly different but with familiar elements. But it helps if you aren't new to rose-oud scents or iso-E-super. Well above average performance (it's 9 hours later and still going strong on the wrist & paper card, but some may be noseblind to IsoEsuper). New bottles require a few weeks in dark storage after first sprays to develop performance and elaborate the full scent profile. Seekers & collectors of rose scents won't be disappointed. Finally a zinger that has the chops to shoot to the top of the wishlist. I'm quite taken with this - it's a love for me. Enjoy!
Fragrantica: Rose Rossa Forte is really beautiful, and I think my search for the perfect spring/summer true rose perfume is finally over. As much as I like the original Rose Rossa I think I love this one a lot more. What a gem this is. Beautiful fully fresh roses over juicy summer peaches. It is like being outside eating peaches or peach cobbler in a rose garden. The rose garden has all varieties of roses and in all stages of blooming. There are roses w/ soft spicy notes, the peach cobbler has the lightest touch of almond extract. There is a slightly boozy quality here as well. Like the smell of a rose and peach cognac that was newly made. Rose Rossa Forte will make you smell edible but not in a completely gourmand way. Guerlain perfumes are always classy and pull back just enough. They are never literal unlike many niche gourmands on the market today. This is classy, refined while still being absolutely scrumptious. Full bottle worthy.
