What does Rosa Absolute (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It has moderate longevity and moderate sillage. Most voters pick spring and summer, with fall a close third, and the occasion votes are spread evenly across leisure, business and evening.

The top pairs blackcurrant and raspberry with pink pepper, so the fruit opens with a light spice. In the heart, geranium and violet leaf pull the rose in a greener direction. A base of vanilla, patchouli and labdanum keeps it sweet. Mozaick Mysteria and Marni Marni Rose have a close profile.
