    I had a sample of this that I received with several others and first sniff didn't have much impact, fast forward about a year when I found this group of samples in the bottom of a drawer. Thinking...

    No. Not even samples. There is a component of the "no" that is personal, in that I don't have much liking or interest in pepper as a note. Love it in food, bland/mild dislike in fragrances. But...

    Oh niches... Sometimes very overrated & hyped. "Rose Poivree" by The Different Company smells very much like YARDLEY "English Rose". Only Yardley's rose is sharper. Not 100% identical, but yet...

    In general, I try to be as nice as possible. I aspire to Tim Gunn-esque manners and poise, and good posture. Occassionally, however, the bad me comes out - and Rose Poivree is the bad me. A...

    The cumin in this turned me off, reminds me of body odour mixed with rose leaves. And I get more coriander than rose. Thank goodness I got this at a fire sale, can't believe the price they charge...

    I came late to the party. By the time I bought my first bottle it was 2009 and I bet my bottle, which I bought direct from TDC, is a reformulated one if a reformulation was ever done. I don't...

    Rose Poivree is the most interesting rose I have ever met. If oversimplified: it's a rose stewed in the most traditional Indian curry you can imagine. I think I'm partial to coriander scents and...

    This is a dirty-sexy spiced rose fragrance... kind of like a 'rose in heat.' I detect more spices than just Coriander in this... possibly cumin. It reminds me at times of a good Moroccan Rhas El...

    I have seen in so many reviews which came before mine of filth being present in the scent but I canot sense it. Yes.. it is a bit risky in a very low key feminine way... but such comments as "be...

    My skin simply ignores skank (Muscs Koublai Khan was tender and mild on me), so I got no skank from this. I did, however, get the harsh alkaline/soapy opening that most expensive rose scents have...

    Enticingly dirty and overtly sexy. The rose is only there to soften up the spices a bit. Nowhere near office compliant. It needs a woman confident in her sexuality. However, it is not one of those...

    Some people suspect that this has been reformulated, as it is not quite as dirty as it's reputation would have one believe. I have to admit that as a lover of animalistic fragrances I was...

    I think there have been enough comments about the impolite nature of this fragrance, suffice to say I find it immediately recreates the scent of a palm house; hot damp earth, rich florals, lush...

    Rose Poivrée is unusual in a sense that, on me, it is a true wafter. Even an hour into the spritz, the scent still hovers about me like an undulating, stubborn aura. Unfortunately, this is one of...

    A different rose scent, indeed. I am on the fence whether I like it or not... It is so masculine I find! Well, not a classic rose, but with a distinct personality. The pepper is strong in it,...

    I have been intrigued by Rose Poivree ever since I first smelled it. It smells like an elegant old rose fragrance to which dashes of smoky peppers and berries have been added. It dries down...

    This is not scent I wear very often, but I felt I had to weigh in, since so many reviewers find it rankly unpleasant! I must have the cool, dry skin the scent requires, because on me it is mildly...
