Rose arrives twice in this one, first pale and powdered with violet, a hint of strawberry ghosting through before it fades, then again deeper and more Turkish by the time the oud settles in underneath. Between those two roses sits everything the composition is really about: petal turning to resin. It opens with Bulgarian rose brushed in violet powder, strawberry catching on the exhale just long enough to soften the edges. Turkish rose rises next, richer and more velvet than the top, holding the shape of the whole thing together. Then the base settles in slow: oud, dark and resinous, wrapped in vanilla, amber, benzoin, caramel, and a dry pass of cedar that keeps the sweetness from tipping into dessert. Wear it after dark, fall into winter, when the plan is close range, dinner reservations, low light, a coat left on the back of the chair. Unisex by design, it suits anyone drawn to rose that leans woody rather than sweet, built for the kind of night that doesn't end early. Blooms gently up close, then rests as a 6-8 hour second skin. Hand-poured in small batches in Richardson, TX as an Extrait de Parfum, 30% fragrance oils versus the 15-20% typical of an Eau de Parfum, so a little goes a long way. Reach for it on date nights, intimate dinners, and any occasion where you want the scent to speak first. Made for our Fall selection.
