Eau Rose

Bottom Line

This is a fragrance for the introspective individual. The one who appreciates the beauty of the rose, but isn't afraid to embrace its thorns. It's perfectly suited for cool autumn days or crisp spring mornings. Wear it to a quiet coffee shop, an art gallery, or any situation where you want to project an aura of understated confidence and thoughtful contemplation. This is not a fragrance for the attention-seeker, but rather for the wearer who finds solace in solitude.

Scent Breakdown

Eau Rose opens with a blast of photorealistic rose petals, dew-kissed and vibrant, but a cumin bomb lurks underneath. It's a fascinating, slightly unsettling juxtaposition, like finding a pristine rose garden in the middle of a bustling spice market. As it settles, the heart reveals a dry, woody backbone of cedar and vetiver. The rose persists, but becomes less dewy, more like dried potpourri. I detect a faint medicinal edge, similar to iodine. The drydown is a comforting blanket of musk and guaiac wood, but there's a lingering whisper of that initial cumin that refuses to dissipate entirely.

How Long Does it Last?

On my skin, Eau Rose lasts a respectable 6-7 hours. The projection is moderate; it creates a personal scent bubble that extends about an arm's length for the first few hours, then gradually fades into a skin scent. I wore it during a rainy afternoon walk and found it bloomed beautifully in the damp air.
