What does Vallée des Roses smell like?

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the vote counts are small, so that picture is tentative. There are no season or occasion votes, so little more can be said about when to wear it. It reads as unisex, suited to men and women alike.

The roses sit at the centre, with jasmine sambac rounding out the floral side. Cinnamon and black pepper bring spice, while vanilla and date add sweetness. Sandalwood, gaiac wood and oakmoss form a woody base, and myrrh and elemi resin give it a resinous warmth. Roja Parfums Aoud and M. Micallef Aoud have a close profile.
