By the editors · 2 min readThe first breath is startling—a pure, saturated rose that fills the room before it even touches skin. This isn't the dusted, potpourri rose of older perfumes, but something wet and alive, as if the petals were crushed moments ago. Bulgarian rose absolute dominates, supported by violet's cool greenness, which keeps the composition from tipping into sweetness.
As it settles, magnolia adds a lemony brightness that plays against the rose's deeper crimson tones. The florals remain generous and unapologetic, never thinning out or turning polite. Cedar and musk arrive quietly in the base, providing just enough structure to prevent the rose from floating away entirely, though this remains a fragrance that prioritizes bloom over balance.
For those who want rose without compromise—no fruit, no sugar, no distractions. It's loud in the most classical sense, the kind of perfume that announces itself across a gallery or a dinner table. Best suited to someone confident enough to wear a soliflore that refuses to whisper.
