EarthyWhat does Moonlight Rose smell like?
It opens with geranium and pink pepper, floral and lightly spicy. Bulgarian rose and Taif rose carry the heart, while patchouli, oakmoss and raspberry in the base pull the scent towards a sweet, fruity and earthy finish.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening or a night out suits it best; summer is the least chosen season. It reads mostly feminine, though a fair number of voters find it masculine. Rochas Moustache and Atelier des Ors Rose Omeyyade have a close profile.
