What does Rose de Grasse (Parfum) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays close and doesn't overwhelm. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is worn mainly for daily wear, leisure and the office. It reads as feminine, though some also call it classic or modern.

Rose appears in three forms here: Bulgarian rose otto, rose absolute and May rose. Aquatic notes lighten it and keep it fresh, while violet and musk add a powdery softness. Ambrox and amaranth wood form a woody base, and the sweetness stays in the background. Serge Lutens Sa majesté la rose and Vivienne Westwood Boudoir Sin Garden have a close profile.
