Maison Francis Kurkdjian L'Eau A La Rose

Mostly the flower itself, ranging from jammy to green depending on the blend. Underneath that, clean and airy, the smell of just-washed clothes and open windows.

It opens on litchi and pear, moves through damask rose, grasse rose and peony, and settles on musk.

• litchi: light, watery and floral-sweet, a little like rose-flavoured sweets
• pear: light watery sweetness with a green crispness

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.
