Is Absolue 1001 Roses a strong rose scent?

It is rose-forward but soft and powdery, not a sharp or green rose. Expect it to stay close to the skin rather than project across a room.

How long does it last on skin?

Reports vary. Some wearers get most of a workday, while others say it fades within a few hours, so reapplying helps.

It suits daytime and office wear best because of its soft projection. It can work for evening if you prefer close-wearing florals.

It sits in the premium Absolue line, so it is smoother and more powdery than the brand's brighter, more mainstream florals.

It comes in a 3.4 fl oz bottle, which is large for an eau de parfum and lasts a long time.

Shoppers who want a fresh, citrusy or high-projection scent, or who dislike powdery rose, will likely find it too traditional.
