Rock'n Rose

I absolutely love this perfume and I am saddened that it was discontinued. It is tragic to find a scent that you adore and then they either change the composition or discontinue it. This has happened to so many fragrances that I have fallen in love with and can longer obtain. Besides Rock n Rose it’s happened to Laura Biagiotti’s Venezia, Carla Fracci Carla Fracci, Gucci’s Envy, Prescriptives Calyx, and Lancôme’s original Tresor. They are absolutely divine and masterpieces.

Blackcurrant and rose make a fantastic pairing, here. Truly rose-centered as the name suggests, but not a soliflore. Feminine and even a little vintage, but not musty or potpourri-like. Used up my first one many years ago but I think about this often. I'm pondering buying another bottle (this perfume is hard to find so one is relegated to Ebay and such to get it!) The solid perfume I own just doesn't scratch the itch.

A soft easygoing rose. R’nR is fruity ‘n sweet without being jammy, young ‘n fresh without being sharp. It can be an everyday scent for a young girl/ woman who’s into florals. But is it exciting and edgy as you’d expect from the name? Not really. But overall it’s a very wearable perfume with average performance.

Sweet and feminine, but with an herbal/floral kick! It’s calm enough for work without being boring. I wouldn’t mind trying this again someday.

This was my late teens / early twenties perfume. It was absolute love at first smell. I saved up my money and felt like a proper 👸🏻 taking this home. It’s been 12 years but I remember this being a really strong rose mixed with bubblegum and some sparkly fruit. It was fantastic and my soul breaks that this was taken off the market. This perfume made me discover my love for roses 🌹 This is perfect for women in their 20s and 30s. The kind of scent you carry in your leather bag when you go out. This is The Ramones, glitter eyeshadow, leather jackets, high heel leather boots, pink aviator sunglasses, animal print bra and red lipstick. Add in a boyfriend with a 1950s greaser type of look.

What I would give to have it again. It was soooo femminine and sexy!

This smells like candy. Like a sweet, inoffensive candy. Cotton candy almost. Girly, not overwhelming and doesn't bother anybody. Good scent for a teenage girl who likes to party.

Review is for my own reference - I feel disappointed by this fragrance. I wanted to try this for years! It sits very close to the skin. I prefer Fruity floral gourmands, and sweet rose. If you love rose and florals, it would be worth trying. Also, I might have gotten an old sample vial b/c there was stickiness on the cap. I feel Meh about this scent. I wouldn't buy and I'd re-gift/sell. Not bad, just not my thing. I was expecting more of a edge - citrus or pepper notes, bc of the 'rock', but there's nothing edgy about this scent, just light floral. I do get a very light Play Doh scent like others had mentioned. I really love the font and colour scheme though

play doh and rose

I had a solid perfume of Rock'n Rose back in 2010. It was a promotional gift from a perfume store and quite generously sized. Because that year wasn't easy for me and perfume wasn't high on my priority list, I just used it for months until it was gone and never looked back. I recently bought a small lot of old samples on ebay that had a vial of Rock 'n Rose EDP in it, so it's time to put the bad memories aside and revisit the long discontinued scent. It's actually very pleasant. After the first blast of alcohol from the old sample vanished, I was surprised how fruity this is. Black currant is so tart and fresh here, almost lemony. Very different from what I remembered. But it quickly dries down to the creamy, soft rose scent I recognized from years ago. There is nothing rocking or edgy about this. It's just a light pink rose, orange blossoms and an assortment of other flowers blended with vanilla and musk. A hint of powder in the background. Warm, but also clean and airy. If I had lived another life, I'm sure I would remember it fondly. It's not the most innovative scent in the world, but I can't think of another rose that has the same creamy softness to it. Pretty.

Not normally a flowery scent fan but I like this one. It's a nice daytime scent. Pretty and inoffensive and suitable for younger ladies.

Valentino Rock'n Rose is a soft, powdery rose which is delicate and pleasant. For a light scent, it lasts for hours but it's quiet and close to the skin. Despite the Rock'n Roll name, there's nothing rough and edgy here. It's quite lovely in its ladylike refinement. The rose is prominent, but it's not a soliflore. There's a good balance of notes that make this interesting. This is an elegant fragrance. It's easy to wear and would be a good choice for times when you want a very soft, rose-prominent fragrance.

this is a soft but pretty rose scent-not overwhelming or cloying- it is noticeable but in a good way-i enjoy it because it ism't too sweet, and the vanilla isn't enough for me to notice it-i like that-the black currant adds to the richness of the rose, and i don't feel it is powdery or soapy in the least. there isn't a great deal of silage-maybe 1-2 feet-making it a good work scent-and i can still smell it a few hours later. it is definitely worth the consideration of a full bottle....

I think there used to be a Rock 'n' rose red :/

I really liked it, it was a good blind buy, but it unfortunaly gave me a headache. It's a modern, provocative, dark rose fragrance that doesn't smell vintage. I thought i've found a rose to call mine but... it's kinda heady scent.

Best worn in the evenings or on cold days as it's too strong for summer days where it becomes cloying, otherwise I got this at work and after seeing the price would not pay the prices I've seen it retail at as there isn't anything extra special about it. But having said that I do love all things rose and love that you get the powdery rose top note that envelops you in the drydown of this scent.

This is REALLY beautiful. Delicate scent of roses with a sweet jelly-like backdrop, sharpened a little by the bergamot. Love the name, love the scent.

Nice, young, semi-jammy rose. Very pleasing, certainly speaks to me more than the Pret-A-Porter version (even though I should be more of a fan of the latter judging by the notes, strangely enough). Nothing rocky about it, though.

Old ladies don't have a particular smell, they used to be regular ladies with their own tastes and preferences and remain so , even when the dread "old" word is tagged on them. In fact what is the age to become an "old lady"? 60? 70? 80? 50? 40? If you refer to perfumes that are over 10 years old as old ladies' smell there are a great variesty of styles :aldehidic-based, civet-based, green ,spicy , floral powerhouses, chypres and so on. In fact Fantasy is over 10 years old and Narciso For Her too. The fruitchoulis now in vogue will be replaced in due time and will become "vintage" and oddities (Would you believe my mother bathed in sugar? EEEw !!!!!). That's life.

Really wanted to like this perfume as I got it as a gift, but it just doesn't work for me. Literally just smells cheap and like some kind of cleaning product regardless of when I wear it. Gonna be getting rid of this one with barely any used. If anyone has any good floral perfumes they like, please let me know as I'm still searching!

Sweet powdery rose perfume with additional floral scents of gardenia orange blossom and heliotrope. They're soft flowers not heavy. It's mostly rose but I can also really pick up on the heliotrope and gardenia. There's powder. There is cassis or grapes and vanilla. A beautiful fruity floral spring time scent or summer fragrance. Great to wear day or night. Romantic and girly. I thought this rose would be more hardcore because of the "rock'n'roll" vibe from the name but it's a sweet well behaved rose that does not go to rock concerts but she probably does listen to a few classic rock songs like Light My Fire by The Doors or likes to rock out to The Rolling Stones - in the privacy of her own home jumping up and down her bed in her pajamas.

My very first rose perfume. Was fond of using this during my middle school night out with my girls! It's a powdery rose scent but I'd prefer fresh or true rose scents.

I'm always wary of 'flowery' perfumes as you don't want to end up smelling like potpourri. I was pleasantly surprised by this though. Its a nice rose, powdery but not too sweet. Does fine for an afternoon lunch with the girls, but would probably use something else for a daytime date. Lasts a while and I think if you want to go floral then this is a good way to do it.

I find this to be a very light (faint) scent that lasts for a very short time....not even body-spray strength...

I had high hopes for this one as it is a popular rose scent and I love rose, but I was underwhelmed. It's a pleasant scent with a hint of rose and several other floral notes. Light and doesn't assault the senses like some florals, but wasn't anything special. Was completely gone in an hour. Wouldn't repurchase due to longevity and lack of uniqueness.

I definitely sense the Red Rose in this. Beautiful Red Rose floral mix with a nice light drydown. It is a very nice unoffensive scent. Actually this is what I would call a soft and sensual scent. Really romantic with its soft powdery base. Nothing else I have comes close to this one. Very unique!

This perfume reminds me of variety memories it's intimate and romantic ,it's not a strong perfume but once it goes inside the nose, lasts forever. the mixture of rose and lemon is delicate.

I have the same question! What did happen with pictures? :(

I am totally in love with this fragrance for two reasons: one being it's a rose scent that doesn't smell synthetic, and two, it smells like a powdery rose, which for me is quite lovely! When I smell this I can see this perfume being owned by a lady in the 1940's. I can see her sitting at her vanity dresser, spritzing lightly with this before she goes to a jive hop or even a church picnic. I'm 26 years old, and I love this fragrance totally! I wish it came with bath powder, idk there is just something more comforting about bath powder as opposed to body lotion :) I've started layering this with Bath & Body Works Peony which they just re-released for their semi-annual sale, and it seems to mix well and make it last longer!

I love this one for weekend, evening or casual wear. I doubt it was intended for the office. It's rosey without being too rosey/floral, so it's not overly mature. I tried Dolce G's Rose The One and it was too much floral compared to this. Complicated and sexy, apply sparingly for Church. It's also a great fragrance to wear under sweaters or other heavy layers.
