PowderyWhat does À la Rose (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
It opens with Bulgarian damask rose, Calabrian bergamot and Californian orange, so the rose arrives with a bright citrus edge. Violet and magnolia soften the heart, and musk, cedar and May rose absolute carry the base. The overall feel is fresh, floral and lightly green, with the fruity and sweet touches kept in the background.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business are the occasions named most often. It reads feminine. Paul Smith Rose and Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Teazzurra have a close profile.
