Acid rose
Rose Snow is a bright, citrusy rose with all the acidity of a Taifi rose but none of its resinous lemon peel and pepper notes. It smells like the color lime green. When the aroma settles, the scent of a freshly-cut cabbage rose emerges, simultaneously blowsy and sharp. The citronal and geraniol components of rose oil have been drawn out and exaggerated here by their closest living relatives in the natural world, namely verbena and a minty-rosy geranium. With its unfortunate resemblance to the scent of a citronella candle, the outcome is unfortunately more suited to fighting off mosquitoes than members of the opposite sex. Rose Snow will satisfy those for whom roses should only ever smell bright, clean, and flood-lit from all angles. Lovers of dark, jammy roses can steer clear.
