A Belnu reviewer says: “This is a beautiful, warm, somewhat sweet, rich fragrance that has a realistic rose scent in the background. When you first spray it, it has a herbal musk rose scent. After the dry down, you have a beautiful woody-sweet scent, where the rose is not the main note, but you can still smell it perfectly entwined with the other notes.”
