Rosa villosa doesn't have an apple fragrance like R. rubiginosa. Its leaves do have a specific scent, but not an airborne apple scent. More of an inscense/turpentine/resin smell that rubs off. We've some of these in our region. I'm very sure of this. I've also a source to confirm this in the description of Rosa tomentosa and Rosa sherardii wich are considered the new names of varieties of Rosa villosa:
"Zwaenepoel, A (2019). Wilde rozen in het Zwin en de kustduinen" - P127 De kliertjes ruiken ook niet naar appeltjes zoals bij de egelantier. De geur is veel minder opvallend; vaak worden de termen harsachtig of terpentijngeur gebruikt om deze te omschrijven. - P132 Eerder zelden wordt nog de overkoepelende benaming Rosa villosa gebruikt, waarbij dan sherardii als ondersoort of microspecies van deze wordt beschouwd. - P133 De Berijpte Viltroos heeft de meeste kenmerken van de Gewone Viltroos gemeen, wat betreft beharing (viltig), bekliering (harsgeur) en stekels (zwak gebogen tot recht).
Translation: - P127 The glands also do not smell like apples as with the Sweet Briar. The scent is much less distinctive; often the terms resinous or turpentine scent are used to describe it. - P132 Rather rarely, the umbrella term Rosa villosa is still used, with sherardii then considered a subspecies or microspecies of this one. - P133 The "Frosted Feltrose" (R. sherardii) shares most of the characteristics of the "Common Feltrose" (R. tomentosa/villosa), in terms of hairiness (felty), glands (resinous scent) and spines (weakly curved to straight).

Agree, other sources in German confirm the resinuous fragrance of the foliage. The local "Apple-Rose" name is due to the hips which look like mini apples, not the fragrance. Fragrance listing corrected, thank you!
