What does Rose Load smell like?

It opens with rhubarb, cardamom and pink pepper, a lightly spicy start. Rose, raspberry blossom and Turkish rose absolute take over in the heart. Papyrus, sandalwood and oud settle it onto a woody, smoky base.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though on few votes. It suits anyone who likes rose dark and slightly synthetic rather than soft. Vilhelm Parfumerie Smoke Show and Ormonde Jayne Belle de Nuit have a close profile.
