CreamyWhat does Rose de Mai smell like?
Most voters pick spring and summer, with winter the least chosen season. It leans towards leisure, business and daily wear. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without filling a room. Most voters read it as feminine, though it is classed as unisex.
It opens on rose absolute, while geranium and immortelle in the heart add a green, lightly spicy edge. Musk in the base softens everything and dries down creamy and powdery. The overall impression is fresh and floral. Perfumes with a close profile include Bvlgari Eau Parfumée au Thé Bleu and Serge Lutens Sa majesté la rose.
