`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.

NAUGHTY
Solve. No judgment from us: whatever you did, you surely had your reasons! Instead we’ll simply break down your stubborn resistance to virtue with a dose of black leather, patchouli, and sweet oud, dissipating any lingering angst with a volley of lemon peel, dried plum, opium pod, cardamom, hazelnut, almond, and dates.
NICE
Coagula. Let us join together in smug benevolence! The rewards will be plentiful for those gathered up in our aetheric cloud of sugared vanilla musk, candyfloss, and ruby chocolate warmed with a hint of clove.
Black plum, 7-year aged patchouli, nutmeg, and tobacco leaf.

Inspired by a 2001 archaeological discovery in the Halil river of a lipstick vial dated between 1936 BCE and 1687 BCE.
Ground hematite and manganite pounded into vegetable waxes and scented with dates, narcissus, rosewater, and oud.
“I concealed myself in the dark dressing room, that opened upon the poor patient’s room, in which a candle was burning, and watched there till she was fast asleep. I stood at the door, peeping through the small crevice, my sword laid on the table beside me, as my directions prescribed, until, a little after one, I saw a large black object, very ill-defined, crawl, as it seemed to me, over the foot of the bed, and swiftly spread itself up to the poor girl’s throat, where it swelled, in a moment, into a great, palpitating mass.
“For a few moments I had stood petrified. I now sprang forward, with my sword in my hand. The black creature suddenly contracted towards the foot of the bed, glided over it, and, standing on the floor about a yard below the foot of the bed, with a glare of skulking ferocity and horror fixed on me, I saw Millarca. Speculating I know not what, I struck at her instantly with my sword; but I saw her standing near the door, unscathed. Horrified, I pursued, and struck again. She was gone; and my sword flew to shivers against the door.”
Scorched oud, bitter resins, black musk, a torn shred of gossamer vanilla, and a clang of metal.

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.
