What does R'osa smell like?

It opens with bergamot, mango, mandarin orange and pink pepper, a fresh, fruity start with a light spicy touch. In the heart, jasmine sambac, heliotrope and damask rose add a soft, powdery floral feel. The base of amber, amberwood, vanilla and musk settles into a creamy, sweet finish.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn not far behind. It is worn mostly for leisure, daily use and the office, and it also works for evenings and nights out. Most voters call it feminine, and some describe it as modern. It has a profile close to Lancôme La Nuit Trésor à la Folie and Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle.
