Perfumer's Workshop Tea Rose by Perfumer's Workshop for Women - 4 Ounce EDT Spray

My favorite scent that I've ever tried. Strong and lives up to the name.

I read reviews before I buy anything, so I read all the reviews about how good this EDT smells before I bought it, and they weren't wrong! I love the smell of roses, and this does smell like roses to me. It doesn't last all day, but for a few hours. I find myself constantly lifting my wrist to my nose to get another whiff. It makes me feel very feminine and serene. It is a comforting and uplifting scent in my opinion. And I wear perfume for me and me alone. I think you should only wear a fragrance that makes YOU feel good, not one that you think will draw attention to you from someone else. As with all fragrances, sometimes your chemistry just doesn't fit well with it and it doesn't smell so great on you. I have a drawer full of fragrances that were gifted to me or that I bought because they smelled to nice on someone else, but didn't really smell so good on me. And you can't really tell by how it smells when you first put it on - wait about 30 minutes, then smell it. On me, this EDT softens to a really light, sweet floral/rosy scent that I just can't get enough of. Just be careful not to overdo it - just walk through a mist of it, or do it the old-time way and put it on your pulse points: wrists and behind the ears. After I put on my unscented hand lotion (getting the wrists too because the oil from the lotion will help the fragrance to "stick" better as my mother always said), I spray it on one wrist, then rub my wrists together, then rub my wrists behind my ears - and if I feel like there's enough to go around a bit more, I rub the original wrist (that got sprayed) into my cleavage. ONE SPRAY for all these spots, and I do this about 30 minutes before leaving the house, not as I am about to get out of the car and walk into the building. And as someone else pointed out, you get used to the scent and it takes a heavier application for you to notice it after you've been wearing it a while. And even the loveliest fragrance can smell like a dead skunk to those around you if you put too much on. But if you use it lightly, and it draws someone to lean closer to you to smell it as opposed to turning away to get a fresh breath, well...that's just what Mom always said.

If you love the scent of fresh roses, this is it! Heavenly fresh cut roses scent, although it’s considered a cologne not a perfume strength, it’s quite strong, and it really lasts too. 5 stars.

Ahh Tea Rose by Perfumer's Workshop. 4 oz of EDT that wears like an EDP for $14 can not be beat A classic cheapie IYKYK classic. I was introduced to this gem by a beloved teacher who wore it regularly in the days when everyone walked around in their own personal cloud of scent. Overspraying was the norm. The formula smells exactly the same as it did in the 1980s but of course you do not need to overspray like it's the 80s. 2 sprays will have you set smelling rosy fresh for hours. It's not an elderly rose, its not a cloying rose, its a fresh rose like fresh cut roses that are still a bit green. A realistic rose. It's different than what is produced modernly in a very good way. The rosewood, sandalwood, cedar and amber give it a bit of depth but are very lightly in the background. The bergamot gives it a bit of fresh zest and the lily softens the blend. It's a forever classic and a ridiculously inexpensive bargain.

I really want to give this 5 stars. Well the fragrance smells exactly like Red Roses along with stems and rose leaves, I kid you not. It's really captured the true essence (smell) of roses. Very nice...the fragrance isn't design to last forever so it lasted for 2 hrs.

I absolutely fell in love with this perfume. It smells like a beautiful Red rose. It's feminine, clean and romantic. My fiance came home we hugged and immediately he inhaled my neck and complemented how lovely I smelled. It's perfect for a floral lover of fragrance or someone who likes elegant scents. Or both! Giftable and since I bought it for myself I will say I'll definitely buy it again 100% I use to use Rose by bath and body works, which I still like despite my not really liking the company much. It's more of a mixed floral than a true rose both clean and feminine but I think I'll be preferring this one from now on. LOVE IT!! longevity wise it's a 4 star it's a very strong scent you should use sparingly at first but layerable. It lasts a few hours before needing a refresh. Honestly even the highest end fragrances are like that now really though. So it's far from a deal breaker

Smells like rose water. Delicate and perfect. I bought the Eau de Parfum so that it would last all day, and it does not disappoint. A spritz in my hair and another on my décolletage - I was receiving compliments at 7 pm and I start my day at 7 am!

DO NOT BUY THIS IT HAS YELLOW NO 5 WHICH IS LINKED TO ASTHMA AND LEUKEMIAIn 2008 the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) in Washington, DC, petitioned the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ban artificial food dyes because of their connection to behavioral problems in children.1 Two years later a new CSPI report, Food Dyes: A Rainbow of Risks, further concludes that the nine artificial dyes approved in the United States likely are carcinogenic, cause hypersensitivity reactions and behavioral problems, or are inadequately tested.2 Artificial dyes derived from petroleum are found in thousands of foods.3 In particular breakfast cereals, candy, snacks, beverages, vitamins, and other products aimed at children are colored with dyes. Even some fresh oranges are dipped in dye to brighten them and provide uniform color, says Michael Jacobson, executive director at CSPI. According to the International Association of Color Manufacturers, a trade association for food dye makers and users, artificial color additives enhance and correct natural colors and “provide a colorful identity to foods that would otherwise be virtually colorless,” as well as compensating for natural color loss during storage and providing a way to quickly identify pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements.4 Food dye consumption per person has increased fivefold in the United States since 1955, with three dyes—Red 40, Yellow 5, and Yellow 6—accounting for 90% of the dyes used in foods.2 Food manufacturers still use plant-based colorings in some countries. For example, in the United Kingdom Fanta orange soda is colored with pumpkin and carrot extracts while the U.S. version uses Red 40 and Yellow 6. McDonald’s strawberry sundaes are colored only with strawberries in Britain, but Red 40 is used in the United States. With many U.S. consumers desiring fewer synthetic additives, “companies may be better off switching to [plant-based colors],” Jacobson says. Weiss argued 30 years ago there was evidence linking artificial food dyes to behavioral problems in children.10 Yet the FDA still does not require manufacturers to test dyes for developmental neurotoxicity. “Their inaction amounts to approval of an ongoing experiment with children,” Weiss says. Meanwhile, in Europe, as of July 2010 most foods that contain artificial dyes must carry labels warning they may cause hyperactivity in children.11 Jacobson says, “This warning may be the death knell for [artificial] food dyes in Europe, especially for foods commonly eaten by children.” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2957945/ Food dyes, synthesized originally from coal tar and now petroleum, have long been controversial because of safety concerns. Many dyes have been banned because of their adverse effects on laboratory animals or inadequate testing. CONCLUSIONS: This review finds that all of the nine currently US-approved dyes raise health concerns of varying degrees. Red 3 causes cancer in animals, and there is evidence that several other dyes also are carcinogenic. Three dyes (Red 40, Yellow 5, and Yellow 6) have been found to be contaminated with benzidine or other carcinogens. At least four dyes (Blue 1, Red 40, Yellow 5, and Yellow 6) cause hypersensitivity reactions. Numerous microbiological and rodent studies of Yellow 5 were positive for genotoxicity. Toxicity tests on two dyes (Citrus Red 2 and Orange B) also suggest safety concerns, but Citrus Red 2 is used at low levels and only on some Florida oranges and Orange B has not been used for several years. The inadequacy of much of the testing and the evidence for carcinogenicity, genotoxicity, and hypersensitivity, coupled with the fact that dyes do not improve the safety or nutritional quality of foods, indicates that all of the currently used dyes should be removed from the food supply and replaced, if at all, by safer colorings. It is recommended that regulatory authorities require better and independent toxicity testing, exercise greater caution regarding continued approval of these dyes, and in the future approve only well-tested, safe dyes. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23026007
