Pink rose accords are usually constructed from a lighter blend of rose-petal molecules: more rose oxide and citronellol for a fresh, dewy character, with less of the deep honey-wax facets of damascena absolute. The result reads younger and brighter than classical rose, with a slightly fruity edge that suits modern feminine and gourmand compositions. Kilian Vodka On The Rocks at Parfum Central uses pink rose as a counterpoint to its boozy-grain core, the floral lifting an otherwise dense alcohol-and-amber composition into a more wearable heart.
