Is Rose de la Mer a sweet rose scent?+

No, it's not sweet. The rose is balanced by sea salt and saffron, giving it a salty, slightly spicy character.

How does the ambergris note smell?+

The ambergris is warm and slightly salty, adding depth and a skin-like quality without being animalic.

Can this be worn year-round?+

It works best in spring and summer due to its aquatic freshness, but the woody base makes it wearable in mild fall weather too.
