About

Souvenir Desert Rose opens with a blast of aggressive, syrupy fruit, dominated by tropical notes that lean towards candied mango. As it dries, a heavy powdery musk emerges, backed by warm amber and a creamy sandalwood base. Citrus notes attempt to cut through the sweetness but are largely subsumed by the dense, cloying blend.
