What does Mémoire de Roses smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, so it neither leaves a heavy trail nor disappears quickly. It is classed as a feminine fragrance. The vote counts are small, so these ratings are only a rough guide.

Damask rose sits at the centre, while mandarin and bergamot brighten it and keep it lively. Musk adds a soft base underneath. A green, slightly synthetic edge keeps the rose from turning heavy and pulls it towards freshness. Cos Perfumery Fleuriste and Zara Popeline Blanche have a close profile.
