Available wear impressions suggest modest performance. Longevity seems moderate at best, and the scent bubble usually comes across as intimate to moderate, so this is better suited to people who enjoy closer-wearing fragrances than bold projection.
Notes Pyramid
Search these notesChoose where each note belongs.
The scent profile is centered on rose first, with cedar and musk doing most of the shaping work around it. It usually reads dry, woody and slightly powdery rather than lush, fresh or sweet. The spice note seems to add texture more than heat, keeping the rose crisp and a little restrained.
Main Accords
5 MAPPEDThe main accords feel streamlined in wear. Rose leads clearly, but the woody and musky tones keep it from becoming soft-focus floral. Powdery facets likely show up more in the dry-down, giving the fragrance a clean, slightly cosmetic finish instead of a dense or creamy one.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Sister's Aroma Roses from Ex Review”
Roses from Ex is a rose fragrance with a pared-back, modern structure. The listed notes are simple, Grasse rose, cedar, musk and spices, and that simplicity shows in the way the scent is framed. This is not the kind of rose that tries to be jammy, romantic or especially ornate. It appears to aim for something drier, cleaner and more neutral.
On skin, the rose is likely to be the first thing you notice, but the surrounding woods and musk shape the mood quickly. Cedar gives the scent a dry grain and a little lift, while musk smooths the edges and keeps it close to the skin. The spice note looks more like a textural accent than a loud spicy statement. Instead of turning warm and rich, it seems to sharpen the rose slightly and stop it from feeling too soft.
That makes Roses from Ex easier to place in the unisex rose category than in a classic floral lane. If you usually avoid rose because it feels too sweet, too vintage or too romantic, this style may be more approachable. The powdery facet in the accord profile suggests a soft, cosmetic finish in the later stages, but not a thick lipstick effect. It sounds more like a gentle haze over rose and musk than a fully vintage powder cloud.
Performance is where expectations should stay measured. The available wear feedback points to moderate longevity at best, with softer projection from intimate to moderate. In practical terms, this looks more like a personal scent than a statement fragrance. That can be a strength if you want something low-pressure for daily wear, office settings or close social distance. It is less convincing if you want a dramatic trail or strong endurance into late evening.
The style itself is fairly specific. Roses from Ex seems built for someone who likes rose made dry, woody and wearable, not plush or attention-seeking. It may work well in autumn and mild weather, when cedar and musk can feel smooth rather than flat. In hot weather, the quiet structure could still be wearable, but buyers who want sparkle or freshness may find it too muted.
The biggest reason to sample first is not the note pyramid, it is the limited and mixed response around the scent. There is enough here to suggest a clear idea, a woody musky rose with a soft powdery edge, but not enough to treat it as a safe blind buy. If that profile already sounds like your kind of fragrance, Roses from Ex may be worth trying. If you want a richer rose, stronger projection or more obvious value, there are reasons to stay cautious.

Dupes & Alternatives
COMMUNITY DUPESCOREEvidence for exact dupes is too thin, so automatic dupe claims would be overstated. Broadly, this seems to sit in the same dry, woody rose space as modern unisex rose fragrances rather than sweet or opulent rose perfumes. If you prefer stronger projection or a richer rose heart, compare it against more established woody rose options before buying.
