It has a slightly sweet and syrupy feel? I think it's a sweeter scent than rose floral fragrance. As an eau de parfum, it has better longevity than an eau de toilette~ I used to be disappointed that the scent from other body products and perfumes would only last 1-2 hours, but after switching to the Smoky Rose body lotion and eau de parfum set, the fragrance lasts subtly for over 5-6 hours, which I love!
ConsI don't have any complaints. If I had to pick one, the strong scent could be considered both a pro and a con? Some people say the fragrance is strong and overpowering, to the point of dizziness, but I just spritz a little on one wrist before work, dab it on both wrists and the back of my neck, and by the time I arrive at the office an hour later, it's fine. If you spray it right before going out and use public transportation with lots of people, the strong initial scent could be a bit inconsiderate..? The Smoky Rose lotion alone has great lasting power, so next time I'll probably repurchase a more subtle and affordable eau de toilette.
TipI heard that online shopping malls sometimes sell watered-down or expired products, so I ordered from the Body Shop's official website. But when I received it, the sticker said the expiration date was August 2018, and I bought it in September 2017. I know perfume shelf life can be as short as 6 months or as long as 2-3 years, so to use up an item with less than a year left, I'd have to spray the strong eau de parfum excessively, which would be a waste. I asked if they could provide the production date, and they said the most recent batch has an October 2018 expiration, so they likely just set a 1-year shelf life and didn't leave much buffer. They offered to replace it with a newer batch, but since it was only 2 months difference, I just decided to use it as is. Just a heads up!

It's that captivating. The smoky feel comes through so well. It has a slightly heavy vibe and pairs perfectly with winter. The lingering fragrance is very sweet~ Personally, I love it from start to finish. Even though it's expensive in Korea, I'd want to buy more once I run out!!!
ConsSince it's a perfume, the scent is strong even with a small amount. If you find it too overpowering, you could try using it as an eau de toilette instead.

It seems suitable for formal or serious occasions.
ConsWhile it was a gift, the fragrance seems a bit heavy for me to wear. As an eau de parfum, it is quite strong.

It's very powerful. I also bought the body lotion wash, and the fragrance lasts all day.
ConsIt's too strong - it makes my head a bit dizzy. I'll have to think about whether to repurchase it.

It's alluring and really packs a punch!! It has a vibe that goes well with being all dressed up. The longevity is quite good too, and I don't recall having to reapply it often.
ConsOther than that, it seems unusable, and the heaviness of the scent is only suitable for winter... And as time goes on, the sweet smell becomes quite strong, overpowering the musk notes. When winter transitions to spring and it starts to warm up, I worry that wearing this perfume will attract bees when I go out.
TipThe scent is quite strong, so if you apply it more than twice, it will likely give you a headache :/

The musk has a musky deer scent with a slightly sweet and alluring vanilla + powder aroma. Compared to the second photo's white musk (which I personally find the powder scent too strong, not recommended), the Smoky Rose seems more warm and captivating (the vibe of the third photo!). If you like Miss Dior Eau de Parfum, this will definitely suit your taste. This might not be suitable for younger users, but it would suit women in their mid-20s to early 30s who enjoy makeup. The glamorous fragrance doesn't go well with a bare face. Even though it's an Eau de Parfum, the longevity is as impressive as a Parfum, where you can still smell it on your wrists the next day. The rose scent is at its best 6 hours after application, becoming a soft, subtle rose. Although I thought the price was a bit high, one pump is sufficient, so the price is reasonable considering the performance. The Eau de Toilette is 24,000 won, while the Eau de Parfum is 34,500 won, but if you buy the Eau de Toilette to save 14,500 won, you'd have to reapply it twice a day, making the Eau de Parfum more economical. The rose scent is captivating, so it would make a great gift for a girlfriend on her birthday.
ConsThe rose scent is a bit heavy for summer use. Even though it's an Eau de Parfum, it's heavy and strong. This fragrance suits the winter season best. This was a fragrance I had been wanting to try for a long time. After a month of deliberation, I went to the store to test it, and then confirmed it on Hwahae. The fragrance, ingredients, and overall assessment were all perfect. I knew there were as many as 9 cautionary ingredients related to fragrances, but my hand was already in the process of purchasing it. Perfumes are something I just can't resist, even though I know they may not be the healthiest for my body. But they provide me with such healing through their scent, which is why I can't help but indulge.
Tip💜Perfume longevity and tips for choosing the right fragrance for you: 1. Parfum: The most concentrated form of fragrance, lasting up to 10 hours (but be careful not to over-apply, as it can be overpowering for those around you... a single pump is enough!) 2. Eau de Parfum: Lasts 5-7 hours (Dior and The Body Shop can last even longer). If you're a frequent fragrance user, this offers the best value for money. 3. Eau de Toilette: Lasts 3-4 hours, making it a more affordable option. It has a lighter, more subtle scent, similar to a fabric refresher. 4. Eau de Cologne: Lasts around 1 hour, with a very light, shower-like fragrance. 💜When applying perfume, the more concentrated the scent, the better it will diffuse throughout your body if applied to the lower parts. For fragrances with shorter longevity, apply to pulse points or areas with higher body temperature for longer-lasting wear. While some suggest spraying overhead and walking through the mist, this can be harmful if it comes into contact with the hair, which is exposed to sunlight. Instead, try applying one pump to your wrists and then gently rubbing it behind your ears and on your forearms. 💜 31,110 won for a 30ml bottle with free shipping on 11st.

It's a musk, but the subtle rose fragrance is so lovely, and it doesn't give me a headache. It's a total must-have product.
ConsAside from the price, I don't really have any complaints.
