What does Rose de Mai (2026) smell like?

It opens bright, with blackcurrant, Italian bergamot and violet adding a fruity, green edge. The heart is all rose, three of them together, and the citrus and green accords keep it fresh rather than heavy. In the base, musk, amber and Virginia cedar wood soften everything into a lightly sweet, clean finish.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it sits close to the skin and suits those who want an easy, unobtrusive rose. The fresh floral character makes it a natural fit for everyday wear, and it reads as feminine. Voters rate its value for money highly.
