“I have grown and distilled Boscobel Rose for years, and the scent has fascinated me. It is almost unmatched in balance and fruit/nut nuances.”-Andrea Byrne

Scents of Man 1651 Boscobel Rose felt like a story waiting to unfold to me: the sky was grey, and there was a chill in the air. It was the kind of afternoon that made me want to pull on a jacket and walk until my thoughts settled and my body calmed. I added a spritz of 1651 as I headed out. Grapefruit flickers flanking geranium and rose, with a slight hint of tea, blend perfectly in the opening top notes, awakening me without notice, like the breeze of chilly air against my face as I stepped outside. It surprised me into awareness, not in a definitive way, but as if being gently reminded, to be present. I am drawn deeper into the fragrance and, at the same time, into my surroundings. I feel myself relaxing into my movements, with the confidence and grace that 1651 is providing (yes, this is possible.) Those bright top notes keep the rose natural throughout.

Scents of Man 1651 felt personal to me as it heart exposed itself, like rereading a private letter. The rose in 1651 is not the lustrous kind, it’s wild and a little earthy, the type of rose you’d find growing behind a hedge, the petals damped with rain and drying in the sunshine. Jasmine wraps seductively around it, warm and sensual, orris and violet dusting the edges with a soft, calm stillness. A memory slipped into my thoughts of finding a pair of worn leather gloves, I had not worn for many years. They had a faint, musty floral scent, and the memory surprised me as it unspooled here, and I smiled at how scent can hold a life’s worth of small things.

Boscobel Rose

Boscobel Rose by Sandi AI

As Scents of Man 1651 Boscobel Rose sinks into its dry-down, it becomes my loyal companion, a confidant. Benzoin and vanilla add a gentle sweetness that feels like comfort for my soul; myrrh and ambrette add a quiet, incense-like depth. Agarwood and sandalwood add a steady, woody patience. The fragrance wrapped around me without overpowering or demanding anything from me, like a friend listening and letting me talk until I was ready to listen to myself. As it diffused into the air and onto my skin, I could feel it transforming my mood and thoughts. I felt steadier, like someone gifted a little dose of courage to keep in my pocket. It reminded me of the small, unselfish acts that carry us through fear, those unexpected acts of kindness. 1651 is a small story for listeners; it rewards your attention, feeling both historic and intimate.

Boscobel House circa 1651

I kept picturing that old history Scents of Man 1651 Boscobel Rose pays homage to. After the Battle of Worcester in 1651, Charles II was a hunted man. He relied on ordinary people who risked everything for him. At Boscobel House, he hid in an oak tree while soldiers swept the land below, a humbling, almost cinematic image of a king made small and vulnerable. That episode, and the quiet bravery of those who sheltered him, feels woven into this perfume: nobility softened by humility, glamour tempered by grit.

Notes: rose, grapefruit, mandarin, lemon, geranium, violet, orris, pepper, tea, Turkish delight, honey, vanilla, magnolia, benzoin, Jasmine, myrrh, ambrette, agar-wood, sandalwood.

    1651 Boscobel Rose stands apart from other rose forward scents with its focus on a rich yet fresh and green, naturalistic. interpretation of rose that has a complex and dense composition that highlights Centifolia and Damascena roses, jasmine, magnolia, and ambergris, peach, melon, honeyed, and amber to create a rose scent that has a unique and playful personality.

  • RH says:

    The note structure sounds beautifully layered: that opening freshness giving way to a heart where rose isn’t just rose, but softened by fruit and supported by gentle woods and warmth. It feels like the kind of scent that breathes and shifts, unlike some other rose scents I have sampled that announce themselves all at once and feel heavy all day. Rose can be such a tricky note!

    This is a rose I want to meet! I’m in the USA.

  • Ramses Perez says:

    This is the first time I hear about Boscobel rose and how not only it has rosy aspects but a nutty facet. The note breakdown is equal parts fruity and floral with some other notes on the base to help with the longevity so this fragrance to me sounds like a tropical and floral mix. The picture of the boscobel house in the article is that glimmer of beauty in the middle of the fruits and florals like a house in the woods, an oasis if you will. This fragrance is truly going to shine in the spring and summer and I’m dying to try it. I’m located in the USA.

  • lkali says:

    Sandi’s review made me curious about how 1651 Boscobel Rose balances wild, earthy rose with those brighter citrus and tea notes—especially the way she describes it as quietly grounding rather than showy. I love the idea of a rose that feels rain-damp, lived-in, and emotionally comforting, with a historical story woven into the dry-down. The imagery of courage, humility, and calm presence really resonated with me. I’m located in the USA (Colorado).

  • sav17 says:

    I was lucky enough to try Scents of Man fragrances when they were first released, and all of them were naturally beautiful. As a lover of rose, 1651 Boscobel Rose sounds very beautiful. Sandi’s comment about the rose being “wild and a little earthy, the type of rose you’d find growing behind a hedge, the petals damped with rain and drying in the sunshine” has piqued my interest even more. Jasmine, orris, and violet are a few more of my favorite floral notes, so I can only imagine
    Boscobel Rose is gorgeous.

    Thank you, Sandi, for your beautiful review, and thank you to Scents of Man for the giveaway. I am located in the USA.

  • Nuvare Aenra says:

    Sandi’s review is not merely a description; it’s a profound, sensory narrative that draws you into its world. What sparks my interest most is how she frames the fragrance as a “small story for listeners” and a “loyal companion.” The idea that a perfume can act as a confidant, rewarding attention with a sense of historic intimacy and personal courage, is incredibly moving. Her connection of the scent’s evolution to the hidden, vulnerable King Charles II in the Boscobel oak tree is sheer brilliance. It suggests a perfume that embodies “nobility softened by humility, glamour tempered by grit” – a contrast I yearn to experience. The wild, earthy rose “damped with rain” and the memory of old leather gloves she describes promise a rose that is deeply personal and far from cliché. I am in the EU and would be honoured to win 1651 Boscobel Rose.

    Boscobel Rose is a rose lover’s dream! What a wonderful perfume! From a delightful awakening fresh opening, to a majestic rose heart which is wrapped by the sensuality of jasmine and the softness of violets, coming to an unforgettable dry down, benzoin and vanilla for the sweetness and warmth, myrrh and ambrette for the emotional depth and woods with its steady characteristics.
    Love the different layers to this scent and how it changes, a rose with brightness and with unique depth. The inspiration behind the perfume is also wonderfully interesting and such a unique take! A unique rose perfume which embodies the courage and humility, is sth that really inspires me.
    Thank you for this wonderful review and for the generous giveaway! I would be extremely happy to try this fantastic rose with personality.

  • Ensorceler says:

    What immediately sparks my interest is how 1651 Boscobel Rose seems to balance both vulnerability and quiet strength. The story of the rose, the history behind it, and the emotions Sandi described all feel deeply intertwined. I’m especially intrigued by that wild, rain‑kissed rose accord and how it evolves alongside woods and resins into something introspective and reassuring. It sounds like a fragrance that speaks softly but carries real character.

  • Jeremi says:

    Sandi’s evocative description of a wild, rain-dampened rose , earthy and intimate, not lustrous or showy – truly captivates me. The way it unfolds into a comforting, quietly courageous dry-down with benzoin, myrrh, and woods feels like a fragrance that listens as much as it speaks. The historical tie to Charles II’s humility adds such poignant depth. I live in Poland, EU

  • bustednose says:

    What a beautiful looking rose! Currently Matriarch makes my favorite rose scent but I’m always looking to try new ones! I am in USA

  • AromaAdventurer says:

    Sandi’s review beautifully highlights the artisanal heart of this fragrance. The fact that perfumer Andrea Bryne has “grown and distilled Boscobel Rose for years” speaks to an unparalleled level of intimacy with her core material. This isn’t a rose accord built from a catalog; it’s the essence of a specific, nurtured flower with its own “balance and fruit/nut nuances.” That dedication to origin and authenticity is what truly sparks my interest. Sandi’s description of the scent’s texture – the “gentle sweetness” of benzoin and vanilla meeting the “quiet, incense-like depth” of myrrh and ambrette, all anchored by a “steady, woody patience” – suggests a composition of remarkable balance and natural elegance. It sounds like a rose translated with honesty and profound skill.

    Ooh what a gorgeous sounding fragrance. You can feel the thought and time that went into this, and how it’s become its own spirit of beauty. I love ambrette and myrrh, and will always love a well blended rose. Orris, tea and violet are also long time favorite notes. It’s as if this was made for me! I am located in the U.S. thank you for the review and generous write up,

  • cnii says:

    I love rose (of course…doesn’t everyone?) and 1651 Boscobel Rose sounds like a beautiful example of the genre. Sandi’s review was lovely: I especially appreciated her describing this scent as her “confidante”: I think most of us perfume lovers have felt that way about a special scent. I would love to smell 1651! Thanks for the review and opportunity. I’m in WV, USA

  • Frank says:

    Sandi’s review made 1651 Boscobel Rose feel less like a fragrance and more like an apparition — a wild rose breathing in mist, memory, and quiet courage. The way she describes the scent unfolding with tea, shadowed florals, and incense woods sounds like something summoned rather than sprayed. I’m drawn to perfumes that feel enchanted, story-bound, and slightly otherworldly — the kind that linger like a whispered secret. This one sounds like it carries history in its petals and calm in its smoke.

  • skye says:

    What a lovely fragrance that can evoke such memories. It’s gratifying to encounter a rose centric scent that showcases the natural, wild rose one would find in a well-loved garden. The supporting notes seem to do just that. They don’t seek to overwhelm. I love the woody, incense dry-down and always appreciate seeing ambrette in a floral fragrance. USA

  • mmerline says:

    I’m not enough of a rose connoisseur to distinguish between varietals, but I’m always impressed by those that can, and perfumers that express their nuances in fragrance. Andrea’s take on Boscobel sounds textured and natural, “wild and a little earthy.” And 1651 wraps the rose in calming grapefruit, tea, and a mildly-sweet base. Lovely.

    I’m in the USA.

  • Jules says:

    This review felt like a shared walk where scent, memory, and history drift in and out of focus.

  • iudita says:

    What sparked my interest in 1651 Boscobel Rose is the idea of a rose balanced with tea, soft woods, and gentle resins. It creates something intimate and calming rather than dramatic. The historical inspiration behind the fragrance also makes it feel meaningful, not just beautiful. I’m intrigued by how it seems to evolve quietly on the skin and become a personal companion over time.

  • c4den says:

    Sandi made great descriptions to feel you can also smell the fragrance through the screen, describing the notes very carefully. I love a good rose fragrance, as a guy they a very underrated. USA

  • Rubinshtein says:

    Thank you for amazing review, that feels almost cinematic, I especially loved the end-line: “1651 is a small story for listeners; it rewards your attention, feeling both historic and intimate”. What sparks my interest the most, is the notes of this perfume, they sound perfectly composed: rose/geranium + grapefruit/mandarin, balanced with tea, Turkish delight and more powdery notes. Seems like I need to explore this brand!
    Please, include me in the draw, I live in the EU!

  • roxhas1cat says:

    I’ve not heard of that variety of rose before. That house in the woods looks so cozy and inviting. The visualization of a friend listening to you makes this fragrance seem very comforting. What caught my attention was the Turkish delight note, I was always sad that Traversee du Bosphore was discontinued and have been on a search for something similar……could this be the one? USA.

  • mleenstra says:

    I’ve never heard of Scents of Man, but really like the sound and esthetic of it as Sandi describes it. I will definitely seek them out. 1651 sounds like a lovely rose perfume that is a beautiful and comfortable wear. I like that it relates to history as well. Marit EU

  • Jamison Webb says:

    Thanks for the great review and generous giveaway. Being a huge fan of rose, honey, lemon, vanilla, and amber-wood, this one sounds like a must have!

  • James2473 says:

    Thanks for the great review and very generous giveaway! What intrigues me the most about Scents of Man 1651 are the notes. Rose, lemon, honey, vanilla, sandalwood, and agar-wood are some of my favorite notes and I can’t wait to get my nose on this one!

  • foreverscents says:

    What beautiful images Sandi has used to describe 1651 Boscobel Rose. I particularly liked the she wrote that wearing this fragrance is like finding and slipping into a pair of long-ago worn gloves. And I also enjoyed the idea of this fragrance being a gifted does of courage. I like a rose perfume that is a little wild and earthy. The agar-wood and sandalwood sound like beautiful touches to complete the fragrance.

  • wallygator88 says:

    Thanks for the fragrant giveaway feature! Scents of Man 1651 Boscobel Rose sounds like a beautifully nuanced take on rose — a scent that isn’t just pretty petals, but something wild, earthy, and intriguingly complex, with petals seeming “damped with rain” rather than overly groomed. I love that it evokes not just a floral bouquet, but a moment in nature — like rose bushes after a shower, green and alive, with subtle depth beneath the beauty. I’d love to try Boscobel Rose!
    Cheers from WI, USA

  • David F says:

    This sounds like a rosey delight. It also has y favorite note of oud and sandalwood offsetting this composition. I’m sure it wears we and is a welcomed break from typical rose and oud combinations out. Would love to own, from USA.
