A Rose For...
A Rose For... by Floris is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with black tea, incense and blackcurrant, moves into rose, iris and oud and dries down to sandalwood, patchouli and vanilla. Expect around 5 hours of wear, and it projects softly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Black Tea Dry, tannic and smoky. More astringent than green tea.
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
- Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
Heart
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
Dry-down
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
