Rose de Petra

By the editors · 2 min readPomegranate and lychee create a tart, almost effervescent fruit opening that feels like chilled rosé spilled on stone. Bulgarian rose enters within minutes, swapping the bright red fruit for a plush, velvet-petal heart whose damasc facet is amplified by the lingering lychee sweetness. Cumin threads through the rose, adding a faintly sweaty, skin-like edge that keeps the bloom from turning too romantic, while cardamom supplies a cool, green sparkle that lifts the heaviness of the flower. As the fruit subsides, the spice duo warms on skin, drying the rose to a papery, slightly sour suede that stays close but persistent. Projection sits at arm’s length for four hours, then collapses to a warm skin whisper ideal for cool spring nights or an understated dinner date.
