Windows Down
Windows Down by Henry Rose is an unisex eau de parfum in the premium price tier. It opens with neroli, grapefruit, bergamot and black tea, moves into orange blossom and jasmine and dries down to oakmoss, guaiac wood and musk. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Neroli Distilled orange blossom. Green, soapy and elegant.
- Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Black Tea Dry, tannic and smoky. More astringent than green tea.
Heart
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Dry-down
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
- Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
