I ordered the TSV Amazing Grace ~ scent was too faint ~ so exchanging ~
Which has a stronger scent Pure Grace Or Pure Grace Nude Rose ~ And is the rose a significant rose scent or subtle ?
TIA !

I haven't purchased any Philosophy fragrances or new skin care for years. I was overstocked on everything and I'm still working through the skin care. But I was down to my last two oversize rollerballs of Amazing Grace and a smaller rollerball of Pure Grace, getting a little tired of the woodsy and spicy scents I usually wear, and so and when I saw the TSV I decided to try the Nude Rose.
To me, the Nude Rose smells like a soft rose floral. I really don't understand the description of it as some derivative of Pure Grace. I don't think there are any clean or soap notes, only floral ones. Maybe that is because I am comparing it to a very old Pure Grace rollerball that still has a nice clean, long lasting scent.
I find that this supposed eau de parfum has a strong alcohol scent when I first put it on, but that dissipates pretty quickly. The bottle is annoying, clumsy, and difficult to use (like all Philosophy bottles). I think it is a nice scent for wearing around home, on the weekend, and generally out and about, but I prefer my more sophisticated scents for work.
The EDP lasts longer than the last bottle of Amazing Grace that I purchased over 5 years ago (long gone now), but nowhere near as long as the rollerballs I am using up. To make it last longer, I apply it over some Dr. Denese Hydroshield serum.

The Nude Rose is definitely not a heavy floral. I think you might like it.

I was at Ulta the other night and was interested in smelling the rose but there so many puzzled men there I couldn't get close. They seem to bring their male BF along for emotional support to make things worse. Lots of waving of paper samples.

How much rose do you smell ?

I think rose is the dominant note. There is a certain clarity to it. When I compare it to my very old rollerball bottle of Amazing Grace, the Nude Rose is a less complex scent. I don't know how it would compare to more recent Amazing Grace, because this was my first philosophy purchase in about six years.

I ordered the Nude Rose and thought it was gross. I'll be honest. LOL
I have never cared for the smell of roses or rose scents in perfumes. Then I smelled Stella by Stella McCartney and loved it. Much to my surprise, it's described as a rose scent.
I was hoping PG Nude Rose would be along the lines of that. It wasn't. It was an overwhelming, heavy smell of rose. Like the old-fashioned rose perfumes that I always detested. I couldn't wash that off fast enough.
