What does Thorns Become Roses smell like?

It opens with the fruity sweetness of raspberry and lychee, sharpened by cardamom and saffron. In the heart, Turkish rose meets mimosa, violet leaf and blackcurrant, with the floral side kept fresh by a green edge. White oud, patchouli and sandalwood give the base a woody, faintly leathery depth.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and spring, and it leans towards nights out and evenings. Votes for modern, masculine and feminine are close together, so it doesn't favour one gender. Its profile is close to Portrait of a Lady (Eau de Parfum) and Dose Of Rose.
