What does Beyond Rose smell like?

It opens with freesia, white pepper and maté, fresh with a faint bite. In the heart, rose oil and rose absolute join osmanthus and styrax to form the floral centre. The base of labdanum, benzoin and amber leaves a sweet, resinous, oriental warmth.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, though spring and summer also get a fair share. It leans towards evenings, leisure time and nights out, and sits close to daily and office wear too. Most voters read it as feminine. Tiziana Terenzi Porpora and Al Haramain Arabian Treasure have a close profile.
