What does Oscar Rose smell like?

The opening of pear, freesia and lily of the valley feels light and slightly green. Peony, rose and damask rose take over in the heart, where the floral side clearly dominates. In the base, musk, white amber and blond woods dry it down to a powdery, creamy, softly woody finish.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without overwhelming a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, with daily wear, leisure and office use leading the occasions. Evening and night out trail well behind. Sabé Masson Né des Roses and Bon Parfumeur 002 Neroli Jasmin Ambre Blanc have a close profile.
