What does Shalimar Millésime Rose smell like?

Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as good. It leans towards spring and fall, though winter has a fair share of votes, and evening, night out and leisure wear are voted almost equally. Most voters read it as feminine, with some calling it classic or modern.

As a whole the scent rests on rose: damask rose and centifolia absolute form a floral core, rose water lightens it, and frankincense adds a smoky, spicy depth. The sweetness blends with a powdery, creamy softness and leaves an oriental feel. Les Néréides Pas de Velours and Yves Rocher So Elixir (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
