Notes: plum, apricot, tea, rose, ylang-ylang, cinnamon, frankincense, cedar, amber, benzoin, opopanax, sandalwood, musk
Apricot and tea are notes that one usually finds a challenge to either tame on the skin or appreciate (along with peach and coconut). But this is more due to skin chemistry than prejudicial personal tastes.
With Poussière de Rose, one is met with a plump and fruity opening that's quite agreeable, if nothing else. The emergence of a somewhat metallic rose accord is very rapid, while some frankincense and smoky tea linger in the background. The drydown is a slightly high-pitched woody-musk base, with some benzoin and amber.
Unfortunately, there's something very thin and hollow about the composition, that prevents one from completely appreciating it for what it is. Although it's mostly a skin scent, its longevity is somewhat reasonable.
