What does Mille & Une Roses smell like?

The scent reads as one piece: damask rose sits at the centre, tangerine adds a fruity brightness and pepper a light spice. Vanilla and white musk soften it into something powdery and sweet, while amber and ambrette seed lay a warm base that keeps the sweetness in check. Aquatic and chypre touches stay in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and its use is spread evenly across daytime, office and evening wear. Its character reads mostly feminine. Chloé Roses de Chloé and Parfum d'Empire Eau Suave have a close profile.
