PowderyWhat does Elisabethan Rose (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Aldehydes and geranium give it a light, lively start. The heart holds rose, violet and chamomile, and the accords point to a green, sweet, powdery floral character. Amber, musk and sandalwood soften the base into a woody, lightly spicy warmth.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Voters call it feminine and classic, and a fair share also wear it to the office. Penhaligon's Violetta and Floris White Rose have a close note and accord profile.
