Is Voleur de Roses more of a masculine or feminine scent?+−
It is classified as unisex. Traditional floral sweetness is replaced by a heavy, earthy patchouli and tart plum, giving it a dark, woody character that appeals equally to all genders.
How does the patchouli note behave in this fragrance?+−
The Indian patchouli here is prominent and "damp." It mimics the smell of moist earth or a garden after rain, rather than the chocolatey or dry, dusty patchouli found in other perfumes.
Is this a good choice for hot summer days?+−
While it can be worn year-round, most users find it performs best in the fall and winter. The "wet" and "sombre" qualities of the composition can feel a bit heavy in high heat and humidity.
Does Voleur de Roses last a long time on the skin?+−
It is known for having respectable longevity for a floral-earthy scent. While it may not project loudly across a room for long, the base of musk, sandalwood, and patchouli tends to stay noticeable on the skin and clothing throughout the day.
