Continuing to work thru the samples given to me by a generous POLer:
AMAZE edt by People of the Labyrinths is available at Lucky Scent $170 for 90ml or $4 for .7 ml.
Notes: Henna, Saffron, Taif Rose, Orange Blossom, Wardia Rose, Agarwood, Sandalwood, Musk, Civet.
The notes
What the heck does henna smell like? Once upon a time I used henna in my hair, but I don’t remember that it had a particular scent at all, at least not compared to other hair dyes.
Taif Rose
I love Ormande Jayne’s Ta’if, but this is just pulling rose on me.
Ta’if Notes
Top: Pink pepper, saffron and dates
Heart: Rose oil, freesia, orange flower absolute and jasmine
Base: Broom amd amber
My take
I expected this to be far stronger than it is based on my experience with Luctor et Emergo, which I love for it’s complexity and sensuality.
The rose in Amaze is dominant on me, and that is not a good thing, as rose and I do not agree. Ditto for orange blossom, but I’m not getting much of that, just rose. ROSE ROSE ROSE
What kind of rose?
Do you remember the smell of rose water? This is not that sweet rose scent. This is more pungent and sharp. Lucky Scent says it softens, but it doesn’t on me. LS says one of their staff who swore to never wear a rose wears this well.
So you can see there are mixed views. If it softens on you, it might be great, or if it went into a sweeter rose. This is the rose I do not like in a fragrance, it is not the sweet rose of a rose in your garden.
However, and this is a big however for me, the longer it is on, the more wearable it becomes. But it doesn’t do it fast enough for me, and considering how many great fragrances there are, why wear one that you dislike the opening notes? It makes no sense to me. Wear one you like from the beginning, unless the dry down is absolutely fantastically sensational.
What do you think?
Do you wear this one? Do you generally wear rose? Do you like Ta’if? How do you think it compares? Do you agree with me or not?

Amaze in the EDP is much less sharp, and becomes that softer sweeter rose smell, and fairly quickly, on me. I was ambivalent about rose until this scent, which I love. You should try to sample the EDP of this one and see if it’s different enough for you.
I will, that sounds good!
