About Wardia
Wardia is the name of a family of rose bases developed by a fragrance ingredient manufacturer. It is neither a rose variety nor a single molecule, but a composed base that builds a rose impression from several materials. Different grades are offered for different applications, and BM184212 is one example.
Scent Profile
Wardia is described as exceptionally rich and powdery, with an intoxicatingly heady quality. Its balanced composition gives a sense of **elegant rose** with a full floral presence.
Use in Perfumery
It is presented as a rose base suited to a wide range of perfumery applications, bringing rose character to modern compositions. Its many facets also allow it to be paired with oud, opening up richer, more dramatic directions.
Did You Know?
Wardia was created in the 1930s, before rose ketones were discovered. Those are aroma compounds now closely linked with the scent of rose. It belongs to a long history of building the character of rose through blending.
