Hugely romantic that floods my brain with images of old lace, black velvet, and deep blood red. The rose here is dried rather than fresh, and you can imagine the petals would crumble between your fingers if you picked them up. Softly soapy with sweet dusting of rice powder that are delectable against the ferocious animal notes. Some of these animalic notes lean musky, some are sour and almost biting. The overall effect is sensual and romantic in the way that died out with Rudolph Valentino. Wear this the next time you need to confess your undying love to your paramour.
