Carolina Herrera Rose Cruise

Mostly the flower itself, ranging from jammy to green depending on the blend. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on rose and black currant, moves through bulgarian rose and peony, and settles on white musk and woody notes.

• rose: the flower itself, landing anywhere between jammy and fresh green depending on the variety used
• black currant: tart purple fruit with a green, faintly sulphurous edge. Often labelled cassis

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
