What does Rosa Nigra smell like?

The top holds peach, freesia and sandalwood, so a fruity brightness meets a soft floral note. The heart adds aniseed and artemisia, a spicy, faintly herbal touch. In the base, vanilla, musk and amber sweeten the scent and settle it into a creamy, powdery bed, while cashmere wood gives it a woody frame.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters recommend spring and fall, and pick it for leisure, evening and office wear. Although it is unisex, most voters find it feminine. Burberry Body Rose Gold Limited Edition and Avon Far Away (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
