Fresh · Floral · Green
Rose Desgranges by Rose Desgranges opens with rose, bergamot and mandarin orange, then moves into iris and jasmine: a fresh, floral scent made for women.
It wears with good longevity and moderate sillage, staying fairly close to the skin. Most voters place it in leisure, daytime and office wear, while evening and night-out use come well behind.
The top notes of rose, bergamot and mandarin orange give a fresh start. In the heart, iris, ambrette, ylang-ylang and jasmine add a soft, powdery floral layer. The base of patchouli, vanilla absolute, musk and oakmoss sweetens it and dries down with a green, lightly spicy edge. Balmain Ivoire and Floris Royal Arms Diamond Edition have a close profile.
