The fragrance is absolutely wonderful! 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! I 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. I 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! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinDec 31, 2016
I originally had a different scent in mind, but after trying it out, I immediately bought the Smoky Rose! 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!!! Since 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. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinMay 10, 2016
A fragrance with universal appeal. A scent that both men and women enjoy. An affordable fragrance. The fragrance is a bit different when testing and when spraying on the body. When sprayed on the body, the sweet note is...overpowering. To be honest, I probably won't buy it again.
