What does Harem Rose smell like?

Damask rose sits at the centre, surrounded by the creamy sweetness of benzoin and vanilla. Amber and woods build a warm, oriental base, while vetiver and musk keep it dry and soft, and the cashmere note smooths the surface. Beside the floral character there is a light spiciness.

Most voters find both the longevity and the sillage good. Autumn and winter lead, with spring close behind, and night out and evening are the most suggested occasions. Votes lean somewhat feminine, yet it reads comfortably on anyone. Those after a close profile may also look at V Canto Kashimire and Kemi Solis.
