    Hmm.... it's actually very much like C&S No. 88 but a lot less intense and more discreet. It does last though. The fact that it's like No. 88 somewhat, does kind of put me off buying a full bottle.

    To be entirely honest, I've not had the chance to try it on for some time due to the weather. I think it's more of a winter smell if you ask me.

    About the rose scent:

    I use Rose d'Homme de Parfums de Rosine, it's a complex floral scent, with a woody-amber scented base. I like it much more than Dark Rose of Czech&Speake.

    A more fresh scent, from the same house is "une rose au bord de la mer" a unisex scent very fresh and easier to wear in the summer.

    Thanks for the mini-review. I'm a fan of C&S No. 88, but like you, I very much think of it as a "winter" rose scent. I think of Acqua Di Parma as a "summer" rose scent. I'd like to find a casual year-round rose scent that is a little more understated than either of these, but that still lasts as long as they do. I had hopes for the Caraceni.

    Thumbs up

    Domenico Carasini 1913 doesn't project, and doesn't last (it's like the joke about the senior couple at the early-bird dinner, who complained that the food didn't taste good and the portions were small).

    Czech & Speake #88 isn't any better.

    You want rose? Really?? Like Highlander, there can only be one: Le Labo Rose 31

    Ask the man who owns one... and I highly recommend it.
    You can have everything, and still not have enough.
    I'd give it all up, for just a little more.

    I've been using Rose Petal from the Shave Den Store. Similar to Trumpers (at least to me), and $1.50 for a sample spray. they have 3 or 4 rose types, i've only tried the one. The downside is that it can take from 1 day to 2 weeks to ship your order, as Joanna has to make everything by hand.

    p.s. SWMBO loves the rose scent on me

    I have XPEC cologne. It is strongly rose scented indeed.

    Best rose I've come across is Le Labo's offering: Rose 31. It's scent is delicate, spicy or powder but by no means over-powering or 'heavy' as you might say with No 88 and Caraceni. It's very warm and sweet with hints of vetiver and incense.

    Castille and C&S 88 does it for me.
