Floral · Sweet · Spicy
Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme is a floral-oriental scent that sets rose on a sweet, spicy and smoky base; it is classed as a women's perfume and seems most at home in the cooler seasons.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter not far behind. It is chosen most for evenings and leisure time. Most voters read it as feminine, though a fair number call it masculine.
It opens with Turkish rose, Calabrian bergamot and Chinese ginger, the ginger adding a light spice over the rose. At the heart, Turkish rose absolute, Malayan oud and Somalian frankincense bring a woody, resinous depth. Indonesian patchouli, Siam benzoin and Indian papyrus leave an earthy, sweet finish.
