What does A Song for the Rose smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays close without pushing into the room. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. Most voters read it as feminine, though classic and modern both get a share.

Rose carries the scent, kept fresh and green rather than heavy. Woods and a light spicy edge steady it, while musk gives a soft, sweet base. Penhaligon's Castile and Xerjoff Rose Gold have a close profile.
