What does Rosa Centifolia (2022) smell like?

It opens with osmanthus absolute, petitgrain and cardamom, which give a lightly spiced, green freshness. At the heart, Bourbon geranium, jasmine sambac and Rosa centifolia absolute build the floral body. The base of Santamanol, Namibian myrrh and Bourbon vetiver leaves a woody, slightly leathery ground, with a synthetic sheen running throughout.

Voters find both longevity and sillage good. Most pick fall, spring and winter, and few choose summer. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and votes on whether it reads masculine or feminine are almost evenly split. Ormonde Jayne 4. Montabaco (Parfum) and Ellis Brooklyn Rives have a close profile.
