What does Mille et une Roses smell like?

Rose forms the backbone: May rose, Turkish rose and rose water build a rounded floral core. Mandarin orange and bergamot add citrus brightness, pear brings a fruity sweetness, and peony and geranium soften the florals. Ambrox and woods give a light base, so the overall impression is fresh, sweet and faintly spicy.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters recommend spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure, office and daytime wear. Most voters read it as feminine.
