I've tested Fragrant Rose at public meetings, foisting a stem into people's
faces for a sniff. Quite often women do not detect the rose fragrance, while
men usually do. A female friend says that's because women are honest and men
lie so as not to appear unable to smell it. I find the fragrance stronger
when the bloom is fresh--it tends to weaken after the flower has been open
for several days, although the flower itself stays fresh looking for along
time.
