What does Garden Rose smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and the office are the occasions it leans towards. Feminine is the character voters choose most, well ahead of modern and classic.

It opens with rosebud and geranium, which give a cool, green start. The heart gathers English garden rose, Bulgarian rose, Rosa centifolia and Bulgarian Rosa alba, so the rose takes over completely. In the base, musk, sandalwood and amber settle it onto a soft, lightly woody footing.
