What does Perfume Calligraphy Rose smell like?

It opens with saffron, oregano and honeysuckle, and in the heart sets the rose beside myrrh, styrax and French lavender. The base holds labdanum, frankincense, musk and ambergris. The overall feel is sweet, powdery and oriental, with woody and smoky tones weighing down the rose's floral side.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters place it in autumn and winter, for evenings and nights out. More voters find it feminine, though a good number call it masculine. It has been discontinued, and it has a close profile to Maria Candida Gentile Sideris and Balmain Ambre Gris.
