By the editors · 2 min readBulgarian rose and bergamot open together — a classic combination where the bergamot provides citrus lift and the rose contributes its rich, waxy depth. The opening reads as a quality rose fragrance rather than a generic floral.
Guaiac wood, violet, and rose in the base maintain the floral character while deepening it. Guaiac wood is distinctive — smoky, slightly rubbery, and woody — adding texture to what would otherwise be a straightforward rose. Violet contributes a powdery, cool facet alongside the continuing rose note.
The composition is rose-centric throughout, building in complexity from a citrus-lifted opening to a woodier, powdery-floral base. The guaiac wood prevents it from becoming entirely predictable and is the most distinctive element in the pyramid.
