What does Damarose smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and fall, then summer, with winter getting the fewest votes. It sits evenly across leisure, night out, evening and daily wear, and works for business too. Half of the voters read it as feminine, and a quarter call it classic.

It opens with lemon, bergamot, red fruits and freesia, a fresh and fruity first impression. In the heart the roses soften with iris and lily of the valley into a powdery bouquet. The base turns creamy and sweet with vanilla, amber and musk, over a woody floor of sandalwood, vetiver and patchouli.
