What does Les Merveilles - Velourosa smell like?

Grasse rose sits at the centre, wrapped by aldehydes in a powdery lightness, while citrus notes add a brief freshness on the surface. Saffron and patchouli bring a spicy, earthy depth, and benzoin softens it all with a sweet, resinous warmth.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though with so few votes this is only a rough guide. The balance of rose and spice suits both men and women, and the scent doesn't lean toward either. Honoré Payan Automne and Les Parfums de Rosine La Rose de Rosine Rose Extrême have a close profile.
