Jean-Charles Brosseau Ombre Rose L'Original Eau de Parfum is a fresh, floral women's fragrance that moves from a sweet opening of ylang-ylang, honey and peach into a powdery heart of lily of the valley, rose and iris.
Skunky's take: That just-out-of-the-shower feeling, clean and fresh.

What does Ombre Rose L'Original (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter next. It leans towards daily, leisure and office wear, and works in the evening too. Most voters call it feminine and classic.
The opening of ylang-ylang, honey, rosewood and peach is soft and sweet. In the heart, lily of the valley, rose and iris bring a floral, powdery feel. Coumarin, sandalwood, vanilla and musk dry down warm, woody and sweet, while the fresh accord keeps a light brightness over the whole.
