What does Rose Prive smell like?

The top is bright and spicy, with ginger, saffron, lemon, apple and honeydew melon. At the heart, rose, jasmine, lily and iris carry the floral weight, while cedar and amber add a woody depth. In the base, vanilla, sandalwood, benzoin and raspberry sweeten and soften the whole.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though only a small number of voters have weighed in. It reads neither masculine nor feminine and suits anyone who likes a rich rose. Alexandre.J Rose Oud and Les Parfums de Rosine Poussière de Rose have a close profile.
