SmokyWhat does Rose Absolute (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Saffron, cinnamon and clary sage open spicy and warm. In the heart, Turkish damask rose, freesia and iris form a floral frame, while frankincense, patchouli and cedarwood settle it onto a woody, resinous, slightly smoky base. The overall impression is sweet, earthy and oriental.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick it for evenings and nights out, with some votes for leisure and business. Feminine is the leading character vote, though masculine is not far behind. Its value for money is rated highly. Armani Privé Rose d'Arabie and Lattafa Opulent Oud have a close profile.
