What does Rosa di Filare / Kimono Rose smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business come up most often as occasions. It reads mostly feminine, with some voters finding it modern or classic.

It opens fruity and lively with bergamot, Chinese mandarin orange, blackcurrant and lychee. The heart turns green and powdery through rose, lily of the valley and bamboo blossom. The base of patchouli, iris, amber and Lebanon cedar adds a woody, slightly sweet footing. Guerlain Rose Barbare and Chloé Chloé (2008) (Parfum) have a close profile.
