`It isn’t manners for us to begin, you know,’ said the Rose, `and I really was wondering when you’d speak! Said I to myself, “Her face has got some sense in it, thought it’s not a clever one!” Still, you’re the right colour, and that goes a long way.’
`I don’t care about the colour,’ the Tiger-lily remarked. `If only her petals curled up a little more, she’d be all right.’
Alice didn’t like being criticised, so she began asking questions. `Aren’t you sometimes frightened at being planted out here, with nobody to take care of you?’
`There’s the tree in the middle,’ said the Rose: `what else is it good for?’
`But what could it do, if any danger came?’ Alice asked.
Red rose, oud, plum, bergamot, and red sandalwood.

`Are their heads off?’ shouted the Queen.
`Their heads are gone, if it please your Majesty!’ the soldiers shouted in reply.
`That’s right!’ shouted the Queen. `Can you play croquet?’
The soldiers were silent, and looked at Alice, as the question was evidently meant for her.
`Yes!’ shouted Alice.
`Come on, then!’ roared the Queen, and Alice joined the procession, wondering very much what would happen next.
My well-beloved was stripped. Knowing my whim,
She wore her tinkling gems, but naught besides:
And showed such pride as, while her luck betides,
A sultan’s favored slave may show to him.
When it lets off its lively, crackling sound,
This blazing blend of metal crossed with stone
Gives me an ecstasy I’ve only known
Where league of sound and lustre can be found.
She let herself be loved: then, drowsy-eyed,
Smiled down from her high couch in languid ease.
My love was deep and gentle as the seas
And rose to her as to a cliff the tide.
My own approval of each dreamy pose,
Like a tamed tiger, cunningly she sighted:
And candour, with lubricity united,
Gave piquancy to every one she chose.
Her limbs and hips, burnished with changing lustres
Before my eyes, clairvoyant and serene,
Swanned themselves, undulating in their sheen;
Her breasts and belly, of my vine the clusters,
Like evil angels rose, my fancy twitting,
To kill the peace which over me she’d thrown,
And to disturb her from the crystal throne
Where, calm and solitary, she was sitting.
So swerved her pelvis that, in one design,
Antiope’s white rump it seemed to graft
To a boy’s torso, merging fore and aft.
The talc on her brown tan seemed half-divine.
The lamp resigned its dying flame. Within,
The hearth alone lit up the darkened air,
And every time it sighed a crimson flare
It drowned in blood that amber-coloured skin.
Skin musk and honey, blood-red rose, orange blossom, white peach, red apple, frankincense and myrrh.
Black plum, 7-year aged patchouli, nutmeg, and tobacco leaf.

I love this scent. It evokes a feeling of confidence tempered by years of experience. This is not an ordinary rose scent – more of a subtle mixture of rose tamed by violets and a hint of mystery. Sexy, alluring and memorable. This is NOT your Granny’s perfume for sure….more like a whimsical Victorian blush.

Snooty Rose is my favorite GC rose scent from BPAL, and I am a huge fangirl for Beth’s rose blends. Snooty Rose absolutely is a fancy, grown-up, sexy rose that knows it is fabulous, so the name and the description are spot on. I mainly get the rich, luxurious rose, the oud, and the plum coming through when I wear this, but the bergamot is there too. This is what I think of when I think “fancy rose perfume.” It doesn’t smell at all like an “old lady,” unless we are talking about a very refined, fabulous, dressed to the nines, wears designers you have never heard of, you-wouldn’t-believe-her-age-if-she-told-you lady who could ruin all of your social aspirations with just a look. If you are a rose lover or an oud lover, I highly recommend this oil.

If you’re looking for a good rose perfume, this is it! Very strong when first applied, and fairly strong throughout the day as well. I felt like a fancy Victorian lady in a rose garden while wearing it. It had a somewhat…waxy undertone to it that is not necessarily bad, it just almost smells like rose scented crayons. But, this could be due to body chemistry reacting with it. All in all, a great scent!

If you like rose, you will like this. Rose, flowers, and a hint of perky citrus. Sweet and lady-like without being boring or stodgy.
