A moody floral-woody rose with bright grapefruit and berries over a dense Damask-rose heart and a mossy, musky drydown.
Scent Development and Character
A dark rose that stays floral and plush rather than leathery: cardamom, freesia, grapefruit, and red berries give the opening a bright tang, then Damask rose, jasmine, lily of the valley, violet, and raspberry deepen it into a dense bouquet. The drydown turns mossy, musky, and resinous with patchouli and cistus labdanum, creating a moody but polished floral-woody trail.
Who It Is For and When to Wear It
Suited to evening wear, dates, and cooler weather; it reads as composed and sensual rather than overtly sweet. The profile is strong enough to stand out, but the floral balance keeps it wearable in formal settings. Best in autumn and winter. Sillage is estimated as moderate sillage with a noticeable but controlled trail., with long-lasting (estimated around 6–8 hours). wear.
