Rugosa Rose

This one smells like a real garden rose still on the stem, green and a little spicy rather than sweet or perfumey. It wears close to the skin and lasts most of a workday on me. Genuinely the most interesting scent I've picked up this year.

I've tried a lot of rose scents that turn soapy or sweet, but this one stays earthy and green the whole way through. It wears close to the skin for hours without ever feeling heavy.

The rose here smells like the actual flower still on the bush, green stem and all, rather than the powdery stuff I'm used to. It stays close to the skin for hours without turning soapy on me.
