The Trained Nose

Note

Rose Water

Carried by 7 fragrances in this catalogue

Rose Water smells of sea air and rose, and is most often printed in the opening.

What it is

It sits on sea air and rose.
Every fragrance here is measured on the same twenty-four axes.
How loud far-carrying
It reads from across a room at ordinary strength.
How long it lasts middling
Still audible through the heart of a wearing.
