Brilliant

I simply have to admire the artistry with which the connection to the name has been so clearly established in this fragrance.
"Rose of no man's land," as British soldiers called the nurses who cared for the wounded in the field hospitals during World War I.
I find that very field hospital in this scent, at least what I imagine it to be.
A light hint of medical cleaning agents, clean bandages, subtle floral nuances, and now and then even a bit of men's sweat.
Fortunately, no other human odors.

The sillage is strong for me, and the longevity is decent.
I wouldn't want to wear this fragrance, although I find it somehow fascinating.

Very well described. I also strongly perceive this note of men's sweat; it just smells like a room full of men, perhaps with slightly damp clothes.
I bow to the fact that this fragrance tells the story as accurately as a painting. I wouldn't want to smell like that, but I still give the scent a great rating because it's a fantastic work of art.

Smoky rose with a hint of fresh men's sweat? With the right amount, it could probably be stunning - I wouldn't want it to remind me of a hospital.
