Who Rose Sandalwood Suits
Best for: anyone who wants a floral with real structure, rose's brightness held down by a genuine woody base instead of drifting into powder. Sample first if: you find sandalwood-heavy scents rich in warm weather, since the base can build noticeably as the day goes on. Skip if: you want something crisp and citrus-forward. A pick from Fresh will serve you better than anything filed under this combination.
