What does Rose & White Musk Absolu smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, while spring and summer trail behind. On character, voters lean feminine, though some call it classic or modern.

The scent is built around damask rose, damask rose water and damask rose absolute. White musk, amber and oud soften and warm that rose. The accords read floral, sweet and powdery, with woody, spicy and gourmand shades behind them. Kenzo Flower by Kenzo L'Absolue has a close profile.
