Red Roses
Red Roses by Jo Malone is a feminine-leaning eau de cologne from 2001 in the premium price tier. It opens with lemon and violet leaf, moves into rose and dries down to honey. Expect around 4 hours of wear, and it projects softly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Violet Leaf Crisp, watery green with a metallic edge. Cool rather than fresh.
Heart
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Dry-down
- Honey Sweet, waxy and slightly animalic. Can smell dirty in large doses.
