What does British Rose smell like?

It opens with a bright citrus lift of mandarin orange and bergamot. The heart of rose water, peony and water lily gives it a floral core, while peach and musk soften the base and add a light sweetness. The overall feel is fresh, green and fruity.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it suits daily wear, the office and leisure time. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is mostly described as feminine. Fragonard Fleur d'Oranger (Eau de Toilette) and Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Nectarine Blossom have a close profile.
