Rose water smells like the most delicate, almost translucent whisper of a rose—imagine standing in a garden after rain, where the flower's perfume has become ethereal rather than heady. It's softer than fresh rose petals (which can smell almost fruity or spiced), carrying a pale, slightly sweet, slightly powdery quality reminiscent of the steam rising from warm bathwater infused with flowers. There's a gentle aldehydic shimmer, like dewdrops catching morning light. It's intimate and skin-like rather than perfume-like—think of antique cosmetics or grandmother's dressing table.
