By the editors · 2 min readBulgarian rose opens plush and slightly jammy, dusted with saffron’s hay-like dryness while pink pepper pricks the air around it. The florals stay dominant as cardamom’s cool buzz and a faint orange sparkle lift the bouquet, then the heart drizzles honey over sandalwood and vetiver, turning the rose velvety and sweet without veering into syrup. Vanilla and benzoin thicken the trail, yet ginger keeps a quiet peppery lift that stops the accord from cloying. In the base, oakmoss and incense weave a dusty green shadow under the still-present rose, while castoreum and civet add a low growl of softly musky leather that darkens skin for hours. Projection radiates a polite arm’s length; the scent blooms best in cool evenings or formal dinners where a honeyed rose and subtle animalic purr feel appropriate.
