Tarry, leathery, softly smoky rose
Rose de Russie is not the rose of someone who defers to others, or adapts. It evokes quiet confidence. It is moody, yet soft in projection…not a pink rose, perhaps an orange one. It is a tarry and leathery and peppery rose, yet it is not overwhelming. There is some smoky, tarry almost black tea note, yet it is a soft facet of this mood. This is quite nice and I could see adding this to my collection.
