I think it's nice, but is more what I'd describe as a fairly single note rose frag; not that it's a problem!
At first spritz, I can detect the tar, geranium, myrrh and a tiny touch of vetiver, but it soon dries down to a fairly linear but slightly musky rose. A few woods are there, but all the other notes are very supportive of the rose and simply lend themselves as "back-up", per se.
As a side note, I might also add that I don't see a ton of similarity to #88. The rose is essentially the same, but the other notes in #88 are pretty different, IMO. Is one better than the other? That depends on personal taste and the situation. As far as I'm concerned, the dark notes of #88 relegate the fragrance to cool, if not gloomy weather. SCS, on the other hand, is more versatile.
Price - Really not bad at all considering the amount of rose oil that's used; there's obviously a lot.
Quality - Surprisingly high considering it doesn't come from a "professional" house.
Packaging - It comes in a bottle. No, I'm dead serious.
Scent - See above.
Complexity - Again, SOMEWHAT linear, but there is some complexity going on here. It's not as complex as #88, however.
Staying Power - Bright and projectile at first spritz, but dries down and stays close to the skin on my person after an hour or so. Not a problem.
Quality of Atomizer - It, like, sprays and stuff.
All in all, definitely one to sample if you're a rose lover.
