What does Tonkin Rose smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong, so it stays on the skin for a long time and carries clearly around the wearer. There are too few votes on seasons, occasions or character to say when it suits best, so it is worth trying on skin before deciding.

Taif rose, Chinese rose otto and absolute, and Azerbaijani damask rose otto come as a crowded bouquet rather than a single rose. Oud, Chinese oud, Mysore sandalwood and Tonkin musk add a woody, earthy and animalic depth beneath it, with green and spicy touches alongside the floral accord.
