What does Rose smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong, though only a small number of votes stand behind those ratings. There is no clear lean towards a season or occasion; with rose and oud together it leaves a dense, full trail and sits somewhere between masculine and feminine.

It opens on damask rose. The heart holds spices, lotus, Bourbon vanilla, tree moss, berries and tonka bean, which pull the rose in a fruity, sweet direction. In the base, patchouli, musk and Burmese oud settle into a resinous, woody depth.
