What does Rosa Purpurea smell like?

It opens with mandarin orange, orange, bergamot and blackcurrant, which give it a fruity brightness. In the heart, red rose, rose absolute and violet lead, while orris concrete adds a powdery softness. Cedarwood, patchouli and white musk close it on a woody, creamy base, with green and sweet touches in the background.

Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn and winter chosen less often. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the most named occasions. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, so it stays close to the skin without pushing itself on a room. Its profile is close to Bvlgari Splendida - Rose Rose and Memo Paris Kedu.
