Rose de Chine

Chinese peony unfolds with a whisper of cool green—almost powdery, faintly spiced—before rose arrives to fill the space with velvety depth. The middle holds there, rose breathing softly without sharpness, while myrrh and labdanum build beneath like warm amber-brown shadow. The sweetness of labdanum wraps around the floral, pulling it earthward, until myrrh's resinous warmth settles into skin, leaving behind a musky, slightly incensed drydown.
