What does Rosarium / ばら園 / Bara-en (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It reads less like a single rose than a rose garden: Rosa gigantea, tea rose, damask rose, dog rose and Rosa roxburghii. The notes have no top, heart and base split and come across as one whole. A light fruity sweetness and a soft powdery feel sit alongside the fresh floral core.

Longevity is rated strong, while sillage stays moderate, so it lasts a long time on skin without filling the room. It suits those who love rose in a simple, feminine form. Dior Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet (2014) and Chloé Roses de Chloé have a close profile.
