What does Dirty Rose (2024) smell like?

Longevity and sillage both come across as moderate, so it tends to sit close to the skin rather than fill a room. It doesn't lean masculine or feminine; it sits somewhere between the two.

It opens dry and spiced with pink pepper, nutmeg and cedar. In the heart, Damask rose meets blackcurrant and elemi resin, which keeps the floral side earthy rather than sweet. The base settles on vanilla, patchouli and labdanum, a soft but resinous floor, with cypriol darkening the woods.
