The rose scent of these drops lasts surprisingly long. I was pleased to find that about two weeks after applying them, the scent is still there when I hold the card close to my face.

I hope they create more scents such as sweet pea (with a medium pink color, lavender (color obviously lavender), lemon, jasmine, or Oriental lily fragrance. Hint, Hint...
