Floral

Damask rose absolute smells like the most intensely fragrant rose you've ever encountered—imagine burying your face in a bouquet of the deepest, most perfumed garden roses, then concentrating that scent fifty-fold. It's honeyed and slightly spicy, with a subtle fruitiness reminiscent of dried apricots or plum jam. There's an almost indolic, slightly animalic quality beneath—vaguely reminiscent of skin musk or old velvet—that makes it feel luxurious and slightly dark rather than purely innocent and floral.
