It smells like an incense-y rose and jasmine like the ones you find in incense in the Middle East, it’s really not that interesting as a perfume. I blind bought this from a famous perfume reviewer’s recommendation based on the fact that I love Narciso Rodriguez EDT for her, but he couldn’t be more wrong. Junoon Rose is not for the faint of heart and smells like someone stuffed your face with artificial sweet floral syrup, in a bad way. There’s a dated jasmine to the top notes that will remind you of old washing powder.
