Perfume
Rose 31
A clean rose that turned animalic, spicy and powdery; the cumin facet was the part I enjoyed least.

OUR REVIEW
Firsthand reviewRose opened clean and relatively feminine, but an animalic, dirty facet appeared quickly in the background. Cumin was the part that bothered me most; without it, I thought the fragrance was very good.
As it developed, the scent became more spicy and oriental, then eventually calmed down into a powdery drydown with a hint of iris.
