`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.

The Seventh Daughter, Daughter of the Oath. She was King David’s lover, and the mother of King Solomon. Her scent is breathtakingly lovely, exotic and powerfully sensual in its innocence: carnation, sensual plum, and Arabian musk.

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.
We caught the tread of dancing feet,
We loitered down the moonlit street,
And stopped beneath the harlot’s house.
Inside, above the din and fray,
We heard the loud musicians play
The “Treues Liebes Herz” of Strauss.
Like strange mechanical grotesques,
Making fantastic arabesques,
The shadows raced across the blind.
We watched the ghostly dancers spin
To sound of horn and violin,
Like black leaves wheeling in the wind.
Like wire-pulled automatons,
Slim silhouetted skeletons
Went sidling through the slow quadrille.
The took each other by the hand,
And danced a stately saraband;
Their laughter echoed thin and shrill.
Sometimes a clockwork puppet pressed
A phantom lover to her breast,
Sometimes they seemed to try to sing.
Sometimes a horrible marionette
Came out, and smoked its cigarette
Upon the steps like a live thing.
Then, turning to my love, I said,
“The dead are dancing with the dead,
The dust is whirling with the dust.”
But she–she heard the violin,
And left my side, and entered in:
Love passed into the house of lust.
Then suddenly the tune went false,
The dancers wearied of the waltz,
The shadows ceased to wheel and whirl.
And down the long and silent street,
The dawn, with silver-sandalled feet,
Crept like a frightened girl.
The dead are dancing with the dead, the dust is whirling with the dust: angel’s trumpet, violet, white sandalwood, oude, copaiba balsam, angelica, white tea, olibanum, and oakmoss.
Smoldering coals heat the device from below, and steam hisses through two curved pipes, rotating the shining brass sphere.
Glowing amber and citrus, labdanum, verbena, cedar, and oud.

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.
