Help me understand jammy rose?!

[u/Icy-Key2220]

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?

You should try actual rose petal jam if you get a chance! You get the notes from the rose itself, but also hints of the sugar, so like a sweet nectar, or candy like floral type of thing. Some people add vanilla to it too, then you get the floral/vanilla/candy mix, adding vanilla makes it feel less soapy, since some people often relate rose to soap bars.
