The note unfolds as an intensely sweet, viscous, and profoundly edible interpretation of rose. Far from a delicate, dewy bloom, this is a rose preserved and simmered, revealing a rich, almost syrupy density. Its scent is opulent, often hinting at dark, stewed fruits like ripe raspberries or plums, caramelized sugar, and a profound, honeyed florality. The texture it evokes is smooth and sticky, sometimes with a subtle crystalline sugar sparkle. Intensity is typically high, commanding attention with a warm, enveloping sillage. It projects moderately to strongly, creating a generous aura. Longevity is excellent, often lingering for hours as a persistent, sweet, and comforting hum. While its initial burst can be quite prominent, it settles gracefully, functioning predominantly as a luxurious heart note that extends its sweet tendrils deep into the base, providing a gourmand floral core that endures.
Nostalgic, sophisticated, whimsical, with a touch of melancholic romance and artistic eccentricity, evoking a sense of dreamy indulgence and playful introspection.
Nocturnal, boozy tobacco warmth with lush fruit and florals—an intimate, sultry ode to Tokyo’s bar district.
