By the editors · 2 min readBulgarian and Damask rose open with a rich floral sweetness, tempered by raspberry’s fruity accent and tobacco’s earthy dryness. Leather and oud emerge strongly in the heart, creating a bold, animalic accord that contrasts with the floral top. Oakmoss and musk provide a dark, mossy base that grounds the composition with earthy depth and subtle powderiness. The scent evolves from floral-fruity to leathery-oud dominant, with significant complexity and strong projection throughout. Longevity is excellent, lasting well over twelve hours on skin. Best for fall and winter evenings where its intense character feels dramatic.
