The name is quite misleading, but the name doesn't really matter. It's one of the best rose scents I've tried. The longevity is just stupid, I can smell it even after showering
I bought it for my wife for Christmas. I think it is the only one of her fragrances that I reach for. I'm a big fan of rose and this is an excellent rose fragrance, although Creed Windsor and DC 1913 remain my favorite rose scents.
yeah, ignore the name for a second. It's roses sure, but also cloves, oud, etc. I do find it has a powdery very womanly side but it's got a real 'umph'. This is a LARGE fragrance. What I mean is, besides only one spray needed, it has a huge projection and longevity, and the smell is full bodied and rich. It's like most frags are a 3 piece band, you recognize the song, but PoaL is the full orchestra!
