Fol Roses
Fol Roses is an intense rose and jasmine floral with a green, slightly lime-like sparkle in the opening. It blooms quickly and can feel heady if you overdo the sprays, so a lighter touch helps. The dry-down keeps a traditional, old world floral character, with a faint animalic warmth that makes it feel exotic rather than crisp and modern.

It can project strongly in the first phase, especially if oversprayed, then wears as a steady floral aura. Longevity is often described as good, with the main floral character staying present for hours, so conservative application usually pays off.

Main Accords
5 MAPPEDThe white-floral core (jasmine) gives Fol Roses its heady, blooming feel, while rose adds body and a petal-like sweetness without turning sugary. The green, fresh facet can read lime-tinged early on, and the faint animalic nuance sits underneath as warmth and texture, making the floral feel more natural and less “soapy”.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Fol Roses review, a green-tinged rose and jasmine floral with an old world feel”
Fol Roses from Abdul Samad Al Qurashi is the kind of floral that announces itself early. It is not a shy rosewater, and it is not a soft, laundry-clean jasmine either. The first impression can come off green with a lime-like twist, then jasmine rises quickly, giving the opening a bright, heady lift that can feel intense if you apply too much.
Once it settles, the floral theme turns richer and more distinctive. Rose and jasmine read as the backbone, but the overall texture does not feel modern or polished. Instead it leans traditional, almost timeworn in mood, like a floral memory rather than a contemporary bouquet. That character is part of the appeal if you like fragrances that feel “exotic and unusual”, but it can also be the reason you reach for it only when you are in the right frame of mind.
In wear, Fol Roses can feel very floral, but not purely pretty. There is a subtle animalic undertone that adds warmth and depth, stopping the flowers from turning squeaky clean. That edge is not necessarily dirty, it is more like a natural, skin-adjacent hum under the petals. If you love white florals that feel alive and textured, this can be rewarding. If you prefer smooth, airy florals, it may feel too dense and too assertive.
Performance is one of its selling points. It can project strongly at the start, to the point where it may feel like “a bit much” in close quarters. Longevity is often experienced as good, with the floral core hanging on well through the day. This is a fragrance that benefits from controlled dosing, especially for people who get headaches from intense florals.
Who is it for? Fol Roses suits someone who enjoys bold florals and does not mind a traditional profile. It works well when you want presence and character, and it can be especially satisfying in spring or in mild weather. For daytime, keep it minimal. For evenings, it can feel more natural, particularly if you like expressive florals that do not chase a modern, transparent style.
Sampling is the smart move. The combination of strong opening, distinctive old world character, and a touch of animalic warmth makes it a love-it-or-limit-it kind of fragrance. If it clicks, it can become a regular wear. If not, it will quickly tell you that you prefer your rose and jasmine in a softer, cleaner direction.

Dupes & Alternatives
COMMUNITY DUPESCOREEvidence is too thin to call true dupes, but if you like the idea of a bold, traditional rose and jasmine floral, you might also explore richer rose-focused options (for example, Amouage Lyric) or deeper rose styles from Serge Lutens. If what you want is a cleaner, fresher rose-jasmine, you may prefer more modern floral musks instead.
