Cabotine Rose

Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is named most often for daily and leisure wear, with business use close behind. Its longevity is rated moderate and its sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters read it as feminine, and a fair number call it modern.

The opening of cherry blossom, pear, mandarin orange and green leaves is fresh and lightly fruity. At the heart, jasmine sambac, tuberose, mimosa and peony form a floral core, with pepper adding a slight edge. It settles into a sweet, powdery, woody base of sandalwood, frangipani and vetiver. Annayake Hanami and Jo Malone Sakura Cherry Blossom (Cologne) have a close profile.
