What it actually smells like

Raspberry gives the opening a dark fruitiness, sharpened by pink pepper and the distinctive warmth of cumin. Rose quickly moves to the centre and becomes the defining character – rich, dense and far removed from a light, freshly cut rose. As it develops, earthy patchouli, resinous labdanum and smoky incense deepen the floral heart, leaving a darker woody warmth underneath.

Who this is for

Ideal if you love rose but prefer it rich, dark and substantial rather than fresh or delicate. It suits someone looking for a strong evening fragrance where fruit, florals, earthy woods and incense all have a noticeable presence.

Not for you if

You prefer airy, understated florals or find earthy patchouli, cumin and smoky incense too dominant.
