Smolderose
Smolderose by January Scent Project is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. The house lists its notes as damask rose, bergamot, saffron, frankincense, patchouli, birch tar, oud and labdanum, without saying which you smell first. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Listed notes
- Damask Rose The rich, jammy, honeyed rose. Deep and slightly wine-like.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Birch Tar Smoked, tarry and campfire-like. The classic way to build leather.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
