Rose of Dangerous Flamenco

Damask rose sits at the centre, with saffron adding spice and oud a woody depth. Raspberry, date and dried fruits soften the sweetness into a dense, jammy fruit note. The notes don't separate into stages; they blend into one whole.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, with night out and evening leading and summer and office wear trailing behind. Votes split between feminine and masculine, so it sits comfortably across both. Yves Saint Laurent Majestic Rose and Lancôme Rôses Berberanza have a close profile.
