SmokyWhat does Rosa Gallica smell like?
It opens with pink pepper and frankincense, giving a spicy, resinous start. In the heart, myrrh and Gallic rose take over, and the rose turns warm and sweet against that resinous backdrop. The base of ebony, cashmere wood and ambergris leaves a woody, smoky depth.
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Fall and winter lead, with spring not far behind; it is picked for evenings, nights out and leisure time. Most voters read it as feminine, though some find it masculine.
