I liked the initial scent of the SCS Bulgarian Rose, but once it faded a little, it left a very "powdery" smell, and was told by several women it didn't smell "right" on me.
I got the sampler, and love the shave soap and AS milk though! Guess I'll have to donate the EDT at some point...maybe will send it over for the monthly giveaway unless someone else expresses an interest in trying it.
I'm completely astonished that Murray and Lanman's Rose Cologne has not been mentioned once. Great quality, very affordable price, constant compliments from the ladies. If you dig rose cologne this one is a must try.
I find Harris Pink AS nearly identical to Coral Skin Food.
Don't know how much 'rose' it has in it (although I know for a fact, it has some, just isn't its main component), but for what it's worth, I use Acqua di Parma Colonia as my cologne of choice with the Coral Skin Food as a pre/post shave.
The scent combination works really well; only draw back is that the Colonia scent isn't 'just' rose.
...Or the following brands of Rosewater cologne.

The Perfumed Court has Domenico Caraceni decants in multiple sizes. They ship Internationally by air parcel post pretty inexpensively. They are based close to me, and I've used them to buy many sample decants. Always great service. All their decants come in little labeled glass vials, I generally buy 5 or 6 different decants to try, for a little as $2 or $3 a vial.
I ordered the Caraceni yesterday. Little did I know though that they do others, but it was too late - I had already put my order in. I wanted to try SMN Melograno to see how it compares with the Caraceni.
I've read some reviews on the Caraceni - is it really similar to C&S No. 88? What else does it compare with? Of course, I could just wait for the sample to arrive and that will answer all my questions... :)
