Oh la la, romance, rose, elegant.
At first sniff: I am getting a sweet rose, not just the rosewater rose smell. There is a sweet note to it for sure. As the Dinasaura said, a candied rose. I like it. The Chinese tea compliments the sweet smell and rounds it out.
At first steep: It smells more like rosewater now, the sweet smell has faded a bit into the background, but is still lovely. I always think roses have a slight apple undertone. It’s subdued, but there. That would make sense though because they are part of the same plant family. I normally am not as huge a fan of floral teas, because so many of them make me feel like I’m drinking perfume, but this one does not. They capture the aroma and the black tea balances any perfume taste one might have got. Very satisfying.
