Beyond Rose

Beyond Rose opens with a bright spark of mate and white pepper that stings the nostrils pleasantly before rose oil blooms—deep, honeyed, almost animalic. Freesia and osmanthus lighten the floral heart with a whisper of almond-like sweetness, then styrax and labdanum anchor the base in warm, resinous amber and benzoin that feels waxy and skin-close. The pepper never fully fades, threading through the entire arc, keeping the rose from becoming too soft.
