| To me only: it's sweet rosy scent. I like it best at the rose park, until they replaced Mr. Lincoln with Chrysler Imperial. A few people reported Mr. Lincoln not hardy in zone 5a - so I grow Firefighter, more vigorous, and smells TO ME ONLY, better than Mr. Lincoln. |

| Pretty same desc. from me - classic rose scent, on the sweet side. Luscious. |

| I'm curious about the OP's question myself. I'm not great at fragrance descriptions. I have a Mr. Lincoln, I planted it about 2 months ago. The other day they had a blooming Chrysler Imperial at a local nursery, blooming. I didn't like the scent!!! It was very perfumey, to me. Is Mr. Lincoln similar to Chrysler Imperial? Christy :) |

| Hi Christy: I'm so glad that I'm NOT the only one who don't like Chrysler Imperial (it smells odd in cold weather, and nothing fantastic in warm weather). Mr. Lincoln is a sweet rosy scent, or Elizabeth Taylor "White Diamonds" lotion. I like it a lot, and Firefighter is a stronger-version of Mr. Lincoln. Damask scent is Austin's Radio Times, it can be heavenly but at times a little bit too strong. But Mr. Lincoln and Firefigher is ALWAYS pleasant and sweet, like a rosy and girly perfume. |

| I have both Firefighter and Mister Lincoln. To my nose, Firefighter is just pure rose smell - very pure and strong even to the dried out petals (this would be a great rose for potpourri). Mister Lincoln has more complexity to my nose - like Firefighter plus some cantaloupe melon smell. When they're both at their fragrance peak - they are equally strong to my nose, but I always get fragrance from Firefighter, whereas Mister Lincoln is not as fragrant when it's cold or in the evening. Again: fragrance issues are personal - each person has a different nose! |
