What does Rose Infernale smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it can also be worn for leisure. Most voters find it feminine, but a fair share call it masculine.

The scent reads as one whole: Turkish damask rose sits at the centre, with the warm spice of Indonesian nutmeg beside it. Haitian vetiver lays a dry, woody base, and Somalian frankincense adds a resinous, smoky depth. The floral side is shadowy rather than sweet, with an oriental feel. Carner Volcano and Givenchy Fantasque have a close profile.
