Red rose smells like the inside of a velvet jewellery box—honeyed yet slightly green, with a powdery sweetness reminiscent of dried petals and old perfume bottles. There's a subtle spice underneath, almost peppery, mixed with a delicate green leafiness from the stem. Unlike fresh-cut roses (which smell surprisingly subtle and watery), a concentrated red rose note is rich and complex, like walking into a Victorian garden where blooms have been baking in afternoon sun. It's simultaneously soft and assertive—never truly delicate, always memorable.

Rose smells like romance bottled. Imagine walking through a garden after rain—that's the green, slightly damp quality. Then there's the sweetness: honeyed, sometimes with a whisper of spice and subtle fruit notes. Depending on the variety, you might detect hints of honey, jam, or even a peppery warmth. It's never cloying if it's genuine; there's an elegant complexity, a velvety depth that makes you want to inhale again.
