Smolderose (Eau de Parfum)

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, though spring is not far behind. It is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out, and the feminine and masculine votes sit close together, so it reads comfortably either way.

The notes have no top, heart and base split and read as one whole: the smoke of cade juniper, the floral sweetness of Damask rose and the earthy, woody patchouli sit together. Saffron's spice, labdanum and frankincense add a resinous warmth. The sweetness never takes over, and a green thread holds its place beside the smoke.
