What does True Rose smell like?

It opens with lychee and violet leaf, which give a light, juicy and green start. At the heart, Damask rose and rose otto lead, while jasmine and violet soften the floral picture. The base of musk, woods and iris leaves it creamy, powdery and faintly woody.

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office come up most. Ermenegildo Zegna Florentine Iris and Dorin Dorina share a close profile.
