By the editors · 2 min readTwo peppers — black and pink — open with a dry, crackling heat that feels almost arid before the rose arrives. The damask rose here is not soft or romantic; the pepper keeps it lean and slightly sharp, more stem than petal.
As it settles, vetiver adds a smoky, rooted dryness beneath the rose, grounding what could otherwise lift too high. Civet edges in quietly, giving the base an animalic undercurrent that reads more raw than refined.
The overall character is a peppery, faintly animalic rose built for cool air — spare, angular, and deliberate. It sits closer to the skin than it announces itself.
