Wild Roses Fragrance
Wild Roses Fragrance
Powdery, soft, sweet -- you may think you know what a rose smells like, but these new blooms aren't exactly garden variety. This spring perfumers are reinvigorating the classic note with unexpected pairings. Think petals crushed with crisp mint leaves (Prada), saturated in tart citrus (Issey Miyake and David Yurman), and layered between vibrant lychee and apple blossom (Marc Jacobs). Go ahead, take a whiff.
