What does Rosa smell like?

It opens with rose, bergamot and neroli, with citrus and green accords keeping it light and lively. In the heart, jasmine, Rosa centifolia and violet fill out the floral core with a powdery softness. The base of patchouli, vanilla and musk sweetens it slightly and closes on a spicy warmth.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and few choose winter. It is mentioned most for leisure and daily wear, and it also fits the office. Geo. F. Trumper Ajaccio Violets and Floris Chypress have a close profile.
