What does Rosabotanica smell like?
Fig leaf, blue hyacinth and petitgrain open it green and crisp. In the heart, rose is sharpened by cardamom and pink pepper, while grapefruit keeps the citrus lively. Vetiver, cedar, patchouli and white amber ground it in a woody base, with fruity and sweet tones staying in the background.
Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and business, daily and leisure wear lead the occasions. About half call it feminine. Phaedon Antigua and Creed Jardin d'Amalfi share a close profile.
