CreamyWhat does The Rose smell like?
The top notes are raspberry and peony, with citrus and fruity accords keeping the first impression lively. In the heart, Damask rose and violet lead, while blond woods and vanilla sweeten the base. The overall feel is a rose softened by a gourmand, creamy texture.
Longevity and sillage are rated good, though the small number of votes means those ratings are tentative. Voters lean towards leisure and night-out wear, with evening, daily and business use close behind. It reads as unisex.
