What does L'Homme À la Rose smell like?

It lasts well and has moderate sillage, so it carries comfortably through the day. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office, and few pick it for winter. Most voters read it as masculine, while some find it modern or feminine.

Grapefruit gives it a bright citrus freshness. Bulgarian damask rose and May rose absolute add a floral layer on top, while French sage and Spanish cistus bring a green, lightly resinous edge. Amberwood supplies a woody, slightly sweet base. DKNY Be Desired and Diesel D Red have a close profile.
