Rose
The scent of rose is a complex tapestry, varying dramatically depending on the species and extraction method. It can range from the fresh, dewy, slightly metallic greenness of a budding rose to the rich, jammy, honeyed sweetness of a full bloom. Common facets include powdery softness, spicy warmth (clove-like), waxy depth, fruity nuances (raspberry, lychee), and sometimes a subtle, clean soapiness. Intensity varies from delicate and airy to intensely opulent and diffusive. Its evolution can be dynamic; a fresh top note might give way to a richer, spicier heart and a lingering, slightly woody or powdery base. Projection is often moderate to strong, and longevity can be excellent, particularly with absolutes or well-formulated synthetics. It is most commonly found as a heart note, providing the central floral theme, but lighter, greener varieties can appear in the top, and richer absolutes can contribute to the base.
