FRIDA'S THORNS

FRIDA'S THORNS

A gourmand floral rose that opens with juicy raspberry and pear, folds into a velvety rose wrapped in chocolate and cocoa, and settles into a smooth patchouli‑vanilla base that feels sensual, warm, and quietly non‑conformist.

Scent Development and Character

A faceted **gourmand floral** built around a liberated, passionate rose wrapped in soft chocolate and powdery cocoa. Raspberry and pear open with a juicy, slightly tart sweetness before melting into a velvety rose accord, where chocolate and cocoa add creamy, edible warmth. In the base, patchouli and vanilla bring earthy depth and a smooth, sensual sweetness, giving the fragrance a sultry yet gentle character that feels both non‑conformist and enveloping.

Who It Is For and When to Wear It

Frida's Thorns wears as a **comfortable yet noticeable gourmand rose**, with a juicy fruity opening that quickly softens into a creamy floral heart. The chocolate and cocoa nuances stay close to the skin, giving a plush, edible texture without becoming overly heavy, while patchouli and vanilla provide a warm, gently earthy trail. It suits cool to mild weather, day or evening, and works well for anyone who enjoys modern, unisex rose compositions with a soft gourmand twist rather than an intensely sugary profile. Best suited to autumn and winter, when its warm rose‑cocoa and vanilla‑patchouli accord feels cozy and enveloping; also wearable on cooler spring days, but may feel heavy in very hot summer weather. Sillage: Moderate sillage with a soft gourmand floral aura; noticeable around the wearer, particularly in the first few hours, but generally avoids an overpowering projection. Longevity: Moderate to moderately long‑lasting; the rose‑cocoa heart and patchouli‑vanilla base tend to remain perceptible on skin for most of the day without becoming heavy.
