Etheral Rose
Fragrance notes
Most people looking for a rose scent want something soft and pretty. This is not that kind of perfume. It is for the person who wants to walk into a room and be noticed for their intensity. The opening hits with a sharp mix of laurels and rosemary that feels more like a forest floor than a garden. Bulgarian rose is present, but it is quickly joined by birch, creating a smoky, resinous atmosphere that feels rugged and cold.
As the scent develops, the green freshness fades into a heart of heavy materials. Leather and patchouli take over, supported by the pungent kick of cumin and the bitter green edge of galbanum. It is a dirty, earthy combination that feels very natural and slightly aggressive. The animalic accord is strong here, moving the fragrance away from modern cleanliness into something that smells like old libraries and worn leather jackets.
Composed by Michael Boadi, this 2020 release is a bold statement. The base of castoreum and oud ensures the profile stays dark and woody until the very end. Wear this when the weather turns cool and you are dressing in dark colors. It fits a quiet evening where you want a scent that feels substantial and unapologetic. It is a choice for those who find standard florals boring and prefer their roses with a side of grit.
