This is a manly leaning rose. It immediately opens with a dry, dewy, transparent and very realistic pink rose. Its freshness is elevated by subtle mint. The pink pepper is extremely well integrated and recedes into the lovely cedar wood base. The wood base creates this whole rose (flower & stem) feeling and with the dryness of the rose it does make the scent lean more robust and, well, masculine. Les Indemodables is well known for high quality raw materials and this scent shows it. Very good for summer, especially slightly cooler days. I love this scent a lot.
