What does Dirty Rose smell like?

The top holds black spruce, smoke, laurel, bergamot and cherry wood; the heart brings tobacco, soil, cedar and rose. In the base, bourbon vetiver, leather, amber and labdanum give it a resinous, leathery footing. The floral side is dry and earthy here rather than sweet.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though only a small number of voters have weighed in. It sits between masculine and feminine and wears as a true unisex. Its profile is close to Farmacia SS. Annunziata Cuoio Toscano and Naomi Goodsir Corpus Equus.
