Rose Kabuki
by Dior
Rose Kabuki by Dior presents a delicate, dewy rose scent evoking fresh rose buds in a Japanese garden, with green and aquatic nuances that lend a sheer, clean quality. The fragrance is linear and minimalist, with a soft, powdery dry-down reminiscent of rosewater or vintage face powder, giving it a delicate, elegant character. Despite its appealing simplicity, performance is weak—longevity is short and sillage modest, with the scent quickly fading to a skin-level presence unless heavily applied. The fragrance leans toward lightweight, feminine floral soliflores, similar to Lucky or Addict to Life, and is deemed refreshingly clean yet unremarkable by many, with some appreciating its mild, nostalgic sweetness.
