What does Rose Ardoise smell like?

It opens with Peruvian pepper tree and nutmeg, and the heart brings sage together with the two roses. Ambroxan, leather and vetiver form the base; the floral side sits on this woody, leathery ground, so the impression is dry and clean rather than sweet.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, with some votes for evening and office. More voters call it feminine than masculine, though both get votes, so it sits comfortably in between.
