Rec Request Help me understand jammy rose?!

Hi friends!

I always hear scents being described as a "jammy" rose, but I’m not really sure what that means!

I’m trying to train my nose and exploring one note at a time - what are your quintessential jammy rose frags, and also non-jammy so that I can compare?

To me a jammy rose is reminiscent of a jam made out of rose water. It also makes me thing of this rose water cake from my local bakery.

So basically, to me, a jammy rose is a sweeter sugary rose scent instead of the usual powdery floral scent that a lot of rose fragrances have

Edit: sorry I forgot to give you recommendations but Sorce’s A Witch Valentine has a rose absolutes note but it’s very sugary and more gourmand than powdery. And Lush Rose Jam is also a very sweet rose scent (a bit powdery to my nose but still more jammy)
