Rose

Rose from Roger & Gallet is exactly what its name says: a soft rose soliflore, described as floral by everyone and as lightly sweet by a good share, with a minority noticing amber warmth or a citrus edge. It was released in 2007, composed by Angéline Leporini, and is worn by anyone.

The opening sets rose against mandarin orange, so the first minutes are fresh and slightly juicy rather than heavy. The heart keeps rose at the centre and surrounds it with peony and white flowers, which make it airier and a little dewy. The base is where the gentle sweetness comes from: almond milk gives a creamy, faintly nutty softness, and amber adds a quiet warmth that keeps the rose from feeling thin.

There are no community reports on how long it lasts or how far it projects, so judge that on skin. By character it is a clean, light rose, the sort of scent that reads as fresh rather than perfumed and suits a light touch.
