Atomic Rose by Initio Parfums Prives

The best in modern roses. Fresh, playful, energetic, and mysterious. The pepper sparkles and the rose is a freshly cut pink flower. The presentation and the purple colour are handsome. Versatile and addictive; you don’t want to take your nose away. Unisex with a feminine leaning; I’d love to wear it myself or on a man. It lasts quite a while, although the trail isn’t bomb-like. It’s a jewel.

The dark version of rose gourmand, addictive. They’ve managed the original inspiration well with good performance. To me, it smells of lychee and patchouli. It’s a sweet but subtle rose, not cloying. A bit aggressive, but not annoying like other fragrances I hate. Zara and Initio are on their game; nothing synthetic, and that’s a relief.

Very good perfume, it reminded me of Moschino’s Toy Boy.

I’m a rose fan and I have over 200 perfumes. Atomic Rose has the best rose I’ve ever smelled. Love at first sniff ❤️.

I don’t understand why it has such a high rating if it doesn’t last and only feels for a while close to the skin. Too much price for such poor performance. Aro.a is good, but the performance is bad.

I love it, I’ve just received it. One question: doesn’t the heart carry incense? Or is it pink pepper with the roses? It’s an excellent feminine fragrance, an adult laugh without eccentricities; I’d wear it every day.

Out of all the rose perfumes I’ve tried, this has by far been the most captivating and addictive. I picked it up at Saks Fifth Avenue alongside others from different houses. It’s incredible that it flew under my olfactory radar, seeing as it’s raking in all the praise. Atomic Rose is a potent rose fragrance that opens with very bright citrus and pepper notes; I feel the roses are more aquatic at the start. There is so much evolution: the delicious aquatic rose transforms into a rose sweetened by amber and vanilla. As it dries down, the rose and amber become an inseparable duo, which is when I like it most, with a touch of jasmine polarised by the two rose bushes. I think it’s better than Oud For Greatness, having more evolution and personality. It suits any season and time of day. It’s a delight and a great representative of the rose. Completely unisex, though for women who love rose, men need not fear using it; it adds great personality and presence. Long-lasting on skin; I could still smell it on my blouse and neck the next day. High price but worth it. Incredible surprise: a rose profile already visited by niche that gives it a pleasantly unexpected twist.

Out of all the rose fragrances I own, this is absolute perfection for me. Modern, versatile, elegant, luxurious, long-lasting, and with beastly projection. Atomic Rose is, as its name suggests, a bomb of perfection. A fragrance that must be in the collection of anyone who loves the star of the show, the rose. This house manages to reinvent a note that many find boring into something spectacular and fantastic. With just a spritz, you feel super put-together for any occasion, despite its projection not being overwhelming. I absolutely love it 💕 and if I were told I could only keep one, this would be the chosen one. By far, my signature scent 😍🥰.

Atomic Rose is a vanilla rose, sparkling at the start with a subtle red fruity touch and drying down to a musky, creamy, sweet finish, all very well balanced. I agree with @Taurien: it’s an improved version of Delina made for me. They share the same DNA, so if you already own one, you probably don’t need the other. In my opinion, it’s creamier and denser, yet far less sharp, making it more wearable and enjoyable (even though nowadays it seems everyone and their mother loves Delina). I believe the key difference is that green/acidic note from the rhubarb and lychee in Delina, which is completely absent here. The performance is excellent. The projection is moderate to high but feels soft, not overwhelming or intrusive (with just a few sprays, I even wear it to the hospital). It lasts noticeably on the skin for about 8–10 hours; after 12 hours, it becomes more of a skin scent. I see it as quite feminine but with character, neither too youthful nor overly demure. It’s versatile across seasons and occasions. I think it would accompany you wonderfully as a daily signature scent, but also for special or elegant events. In summary, if you love the rhubarb and lychee in Delina, you’ll certainly miss them. However, if you enjoy rose perfumes but aren’t huge fans of those specific notes, and like me, Delina doesn’t quite convince you, then this one probably will. I really hope I can get my hands on a bottle soon.

Perfect for me, it has the right amount of spice: the pepper is noticeable but light without dominating, which I appreciate because in other perfumes it tires me out and even bothers me for being so spicy. It’s a very pleasant blend of citrus, rose, and vanilla, sweet, fresh, and velvety all at once. It’s very similar to the Delinas I adore, although in the Delinas I’m bothered by a note in the opening (I think it’s the incense). Without a doubt, both Atomic Rose and the Delinas are my favourite roses right now.

Atomic Rose is exactly what I always wished Delina by Parfums de Marly would be. I had an 8ml decant that I gifted to my mother after her first use and she loved it. I also bought an 8ml decant of this perfume by Initio on the recommendation of Regina from Yuniqu, who told me it could be a better version of Delina, and she wasn’t wrong. It’s a sweet rose that results in being slightly fruity, despite not having notes from that family. It’s a cheerful, sparkling, and very potent scent. I think it’s very pretty, especially for spring, although I believe it can be worn in any season. It’s perfect for events, both formal and more casual, during the day. It has a moderate-to-high trail; you don’t go unnoticed wearing it, and on my skin it lasts 10-12 hours. It is certainly an atomic rose scent. Scent 8/10, Longevity 10/10, Trail 9/10, Value/Price 7/10, Versatility 8/10, Packaging 8/10. Would I buy again? Yes.
