Pomegranate opens with a tart sweetness that evaporates quickly; the Bulgarian rose that follows is not the soft, cultivated kind but something slightly damp and full-bodied, more stem than petal.
Cumin below is the decisive element. Its dry, human-warm quality doesn't overpower the rose but refuses to let it be decorative — this is a rose with friction. Cardamom adds a slight aromatic lift. The whole composition is compact and serious: not opulent, not pretty-sweet, but structural. A rose for someone who respects the material.
