Scent Profile
A full rose is accompanied by bright Bitter Orange and Grapefruit, spices, and the powder-like softness of Iris. Floral Lactones add a smooth, creamy texture. Oud, Patchouli and Olibanum bring woody and resinous depth, with warm Vanilla supporting the flower.
Who It's For
For someone who enjoys a substantial rose with a soft texture. A cool-weather evening outing, perhaps with a shirt and jacket, is a plausible setting. Trying a small amount on skin and allowing time reveals more than the citrus opening alone: the quieter wood and sweetness are also part of the decision.
