What does Inis Arose smell like?

Inis Arose has been discontinued. Its longevity is moderate and its sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business are the occasions named most often. Most voters read it as feminine.

It opens with Sicilian lemon, bergamot, pink geranium and lily of the valley, a bright and slightly green start. White rose, Turkish rose and May rose carry the heart. The base of Mysore sandalwood, Atlas cedar, Bourbon vanilla and Tonkin musk settles it into a soft, woody finish.
