What does Rose 31 (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter and then summer behind. It suits leisure time best, with evening and daily wear close behind. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Votes for feminine and masculine are nearly even, so it reads comfortably on either side.

Rose and rose absolute sit at the centre, but this is not a sweet floral: cumin and cistus pull the rose towards a spicy, animal tone. Frankincense, oud, vetiver, gaiac wood and cedarwood build a dry, woody base, and musk softens it.
