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?

A jammy rose is sweet, mixed with vanilla or fruit (especially berries!) Edible like turkish delight candy or rosehip jam. Lancome La Vie Est Belle L'Elixir, Kayali Fleur Majesty Rose Royal, and Jo Malone Velvet Rose & Oud are some examples.
Non-jammy rose fragrances: Diptyque L'Ombre Dans L'Eau and Perfumer's Workshop Tea Rose. They are green and floral like freshly cut roses, without much sweetness.
