What does Rose de Mai (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, with daytime, leisure and office wear leading the occasions, and most call it feminine.

It opens with violet, gardenia and rose absolute. Ylang-ylang, lily of the valley and jasmine form the heart, and blackcurrant leaf leaves a green note in the base. The overall impression is fresh and green, lightly sweet, with a fruity side. Fragonard Violette and Miu Miu L'Eau de Muguet have a close profile.
