Le Labo Rose 31

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

It opens on rose and cumin, moves through rose, vetiver and cedar, and settles on musk, guaiac wood and agarwood (oud).

• rose: the flower itself, landing anywhere between jammy and fresh green depending on the variety used
• cumin: warm, dusty, unmistakably sweaty at any real dose. The note people either forgive or refuse

It lasts well 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.
