Floris

Red Rose

Red Rose by Floris is an unisex eau de toilette in the niche price tier. It opens with cut grass, geranium and lemon, moves into cinnamon, clove, geranium and rose and dries down to vetiver, cedarwood, sandalwood and musk. Expect around 5 hours of wear, and it projects softly.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Cut Grass Exactly what it says. Sharp, wet and nostalgic.
• Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
• Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.

Heart

• Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
• Clove Hot, dry and dental. Powerful — a little goes a long way.
• Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
• Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.

Dry-down

• Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
• Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
• Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
• Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
