Thorn of a Rose
Fragrance notes
Character
Pink pepper and bright citrus open this rose with a sharp bite. The spice is immediate and clear, cutting through the softness before the flowers arrive. Damask rose takes the center quickly, supported by violet that adds a cool, powdery layer. This is not a fresh and dewy garden rose. It is deep and heavy, leaning into the darker side of the petal.
The base brings incense and patchouli forward, creating a smoky and balsamic trail. Amber and woody notes give the blend a warm, resinous weight that feels grounded. The overall impression is a floral that refuses to stay light. It carries a distinct warmth that suits cooler air. The scent feels composed and deliberate, sitting comfortably between a niche attitude and a mainstream finish.
Jérôme Epinette crafted a rose that wears well on someone who enjoys spice and smoke with their flowers. It fits a quiet evening out or a formal dinner where a bold statement is welcome. Wear it during autumn and winter when the air is crisp. It is a solid choice for a woman who wants her rose to have an edge.
