It opens up with a bitter orange note but the bitterless quickly melts down. My nose picks up orange blossom, rose, mango and a faint musky woody base. I don't detect any vegetal note and it's not ver...

Winy rose. Very sugary, very sweet in the openning but gladly it turns into a soft powdery rosy scent.

I have smelt the real flower. This is the Datura in a bottle, not tuberose, although I believe tuberose is used to construct the scent. The top notes are heady, slightly green with a metallic edge, fo...
