The hot black pepper and cardamom give the normally rich, heady Turkish rose a pleasant sharpness and an effervescent texture that lies halfway between champagne and gunpowder. This makes it an exceedingly easy rose to wear – especially for those who find Turkish rose-based scents too lush or too ‘jammy’.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn framing the red rose against a haze of wood and spices, Smyrna reminds us slightly of scents like Rose 31 (Le Labo) and Rose Poivrée (The Different Company), but stripped clean of their more pungent, animalic aspects. Firmly unisex, this spicy, almost dusty rose scent is one that men can carry off with as much confidence as women. It is also wonderfully natural-smelling, its piquant black pepper and cardamom notes smelling much like when you crush these spices against a wooden board with a knife.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLE COUVENT SMYRNA REVIEWS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica -\u003c\/strong\u003e I find this to be a unique peppery spicy dark rose scent. I tried it before showering and even after the shower I could still clearly smell it on my skin.\u003cbr\u003eThis to me is not your typical shy and soft rose scent. It's bold, interesting and different. It's a gem!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFragrantica - Usually, I'm not drawn to rose scents but this guy here is absolutely divine. It is not crisp or overly rosy but more creamy, buttery and resinous. I don't think is similar to Rose from Le Labo in any way. Actually, it is one of a kind. And decently priced which is becoming rare in the niche perfume world. Beautiful stuff!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica\u003c\/strong\u003e - This is an aromatic and woody rose. It begins with dry aromatic notes of vetiver and what smells like eucalyptus mixed with herbs. This gives the impression of walking through highland forests, but it is not earthy or dirty. Rather it smells cool and reflective. This very soon gives way to a red rose note that gradually becomes more intense and sweet, although never heavy or jammy. The coolness of the opening swells to become a full blooming, smouldering rose accord which persists for several hours. It gradually becomes more woody and musky in the drydown but the rose is always there. Just beautiful.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica\u003c\/strong\u003e - Absolutely stunning perfume. Warm and spicy, I would say more feminine but it can work on a guy too probably. One of the most beautiful rose scents I’ve smelled. I blind bought 3 different scents from this line (on sale)- Smyrna, Anori and Solano. Anori is nice but pretty mediocre, smells very natural though. Solano is too sickly sweet, not my type of perfume at all, headache inducing. Smyrna is just Wow, wearing it now during winter and love every second of it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica\u003c\/strong\u003e - Fall has just arrived, we have the most beautiful Indian Summer here in the Netherlands, and Smyrna is simply perfect to wear now. Smoky rose with black pepper twist on nice wood base combined with vetiver. I'm in love.🖤\u003cbr\u003eFeels like walking through Autumn fields with morning fog enveloping the gentle hills of heather.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica\u003c\/strong\u003e - This is one big, freshly bloomed red rose. Natural and realistic, green in soothing non-screechy way. There’s blast of pepper of course, a bit of earthiness from vetiver but a well balanced, refreshing rose smell is dominant. Such an uplifting smell, and I can detect neither syrupy rose-jam nor bathroom freshener rose notes (as it often happens with rose compositions). Win.\u003cbr\u003eDefinitely unisex.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica\u003c\/strong\u003e - This is my second wearing today, and oh my, is this stuff smooth, uplifting and divine. I never thought I'd like a rose-based scent, but Smyrna is so well balanced with spices and woods that I'm very happy with it. To my nose, the creamy rose is always in the mix, but pepper, cardamom, vetiver and resinous woods play around it and add depth to the scent and keep it interesting throughout the drydown. There is also a fresh and sweet citrus note in the opening, but it fades quickly. Overall longevity is pretty good, 5-7 hrs on my skin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica\u003c\/strong\u003e - The spicy top had softened and velvety red roses were blooming. Oh my oh my, I loved it, fell in love head first. After complete drydown, rose is dominant on my skin with clear spicy black pepper and warm cardamon in tow. Such a great balance. Mature but not too classy.\u003cbr\u003eAppropriate for both casual and dressy occasions. I would love to go on a fancy date wearing a little black dress covered in this scent!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Le Couvent","offers":[{"title":"1 ML - Glass Sample Vial","offer_id":44767597920417,"sku":"CouventSmyrna-1","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 ML - Glass Spray in a 2 ML Atomizer","offer_id":46431066554529,"sku":"CouventSmyrna-1S","price":5.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":44767598018721,"sku":"CouventSmyrna-2","price":9.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":44767597887649,"sku":"CouventSmyrna-3","price":14.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":44767597822113,"sku":"CouventSmyrna-5S","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 ML - Glass Roll On","offer_id":44767597854881,"sku":"CouventSmyrna-5R","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":44767597953185,"sku":"CouventSmyrna-8","price":39.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":44767597985953,"sku":"CouventSmyrna-15","price":72.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1993\/6689\/files\/couventsmyrna.jpg?v=1737149565","url":"https:\/\/theperfumedcourt.com\/products\/couventsmyrna","provider":"The Perfumed Court","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
