What does Rosa Alba smell like?

It opens with bergamot, pink grapefruit and petitgrain, with pink pepper and Egyptian neroli adding a touch of spice and green. In the heart, Bulgarian Rosa alba, Persian rose and Moroccan rose soften alongside jasmine and orange blossom. The base rests on Hawaiian sandalwood, ambrette and beeswax absolute, leaving a warm, woody finish.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office come up most often. Most voters read it as feminine, though it is presented as unisex. Annette Neuffer Honeysuckle Rose and Creed Jardin d'Amalfi have a close profile.
