What does Pure DKNY - Rose / A Drop of Rose smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it is noticeable on the skin without filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, with daily wear, leisure and office use leading the occasions. Votes point to a mostly feminine character.

It opens with damask rose, while freesia, Bulgarian rose and lotus carry the heart. In the base, sandalwood, amber and orchid soften it into a woody, slightly powdery bed. Green and sweet touches balance the freshness of the rose. DKNY Pure DKNY - Vanilla / A Drop of Vanilla and Harry Lehmann Fantasie have a close profile.
