By the editors · 2 min readThe opening fizzes with pink pepper and bergamot, giving the rose a peppery-citrus halo rather than a jammy entrance. The rose itself reads fresh and slightly green, more garden than oil.
The heart layers jasmine and ylang over the rose, with guaiac wood already pulling things toward something dry and slightly smoky underneath. As the base develops, sandalwood lends a creamy spine, vetiver sharpens the edges with rooty bitterness, and myrrh and patchouli add a balsamic, almost incense-like density. The interplay between bright florals and dry, resinous wood is the through-line; projection is moderate, the texture brittle and clean rather than plush.
Overall the character is a rose-woody construction tilted toward the herbal-smoky side — sober, modern, faintly architectural.
