What does Paris Roses des Bois smell like?

Most voters pick it for daytime, leisure and the office, with evening and night out chosen less often. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close and understated. The vote counts are small, so these ratings are best read with caution.

Rose and violet form a floral core, while lily of the valley and orange blossom keep it light and airy. Sandalwood and musk add a soft, woody base. Its accords pair fresh and green with fruity and sweet, with a powdery touch alongside. Perfumes with a close profile include Yves Saint Laurent Paris Premières Roses and Paris Eau de Printemps.
