Dirty Rose

Dirty Rose opens with a sharp bite of pink pepper and pimento against bright bergamot and currant buds, immediately tender and spiced. The heart unfolds into rose geranium and tobacco leaf—smoky, green, slightly dusty—grounded by guaiac wood's resinous warmth and myrrh's amber depth. As it settles, leather and moss emerge from a base of vetiver, oud, and cedarwood, while styrax and labdanum add honeyed, almost animalic richness. The rose never disappears; it threads through the whole arc, darkened by incense and patchouli, never quite clean.
