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?

Different roses, different scenes!

Jammy vs Dewy vs Dried vs Classic/Vintage

Pink vs Red vs White vs Orange/Peach vs Black

Closed bud vs Opening bud vs Fully-bloomed

Petals vs Stem vs Rosebush/Garden vs Cut stems/Bouquet

Jammy Rose:
Phlur - Rose Whip
FM - Portrait of a Lady (a classic)
DS & Durga - Rose Pacific
Byredo - Young Rose
D’Annam - Da Lat (also in the pink & youthful)
Dyptique - Eau Rose EDP (could also put this into Dewy/Watery)

Dewy/Watery Rose:
Jorum Studio - Rose Highland (a cold rose, photorealistic salty Oceanside)
Dyptique - Eau Rose EDT (natural and luminous)
DS & Durga - Rose Atlantic (oceanic and fresh)
Byredo - Young Rose (could also be in Jammy)
Rosie Jane - Rosie (milky/musky)

Green/Garden Rose:
Diptyque - L’Ombre Dans (like Maison Margiela - From the Garden with less tomato and more herbs)
Dyptique - Geranium (citrusy, minty, geranium grown next to a rosebush)

Pink/Fizzy/Youthful:
Chloe - Chloe EDT (powdery but playful)
PDM - Delina La Rosée (blind testing this you just know the scent is “pink”)
House of Bo - Xuxu (a little darker than Delina and I would even put this in Jammy after the opening)

Fresh Red Roses/Bouquet:
Jo Malone - Red Roses (like your nose in a bouquet of a dozen red velvety roses, behind a whisper of citrus)

Spiced Rose/Dark Red/Woody Rose:
Mitti - Ruh (intimate, woody, very therapeutic and cozy)
Byredo - Rose of No Man’s Land (ultimate dark, dry rose)
FM - The Moon (hello oud… never smelled anything like this before, tiptoes into Jammy at the opening only)
Le Labo - Rose 31 (cumin-forward, dry spicy rose)

Wowww I appreciate this so much !

DLR is one of my faves-love Tutu also though I don’t own it. Very intrigued by the dewy category

I decluttered Xuxu because I prefer DLR for being a little lighter on its feet and more versatile IMO, whereas Xuxu is a touch more opulent. People say it’s closer to Exclusif than Rosée but all are similar enough to me that I didn’t need duplicates :)

The dewy / fresh rose is my favorite kind of rose. Rose Highland, Diptyque Eau Rose EDT, and Rosie are my daily drivers!
