What does Floral Curiosities - Briar Rose smell like?

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though the number of votes is small. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn close behind and winter well behind. It leans towards daily and leisure wear, with evening and office also getting votes. Most voters call it feminine, while some see it as classic or modern.

It opens with black raspberry and green apple, which give a fruity freshness. In the heart, eglantine rose and sweet violet sit alongside clove, cardamom and cinnamon. The base turns sweet with cocoa absolute, vanilla and bitter almond, while patchouli grounds it lightly.
