The Rose
The Rose by Thameen is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with bergamot, osmanthus and saffron, moves into bulgarian rose, geranium and cedarwood and dries down to ambroxan, patchouli and vetiver. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Osmanthus Apricot-and-leather floral. Unusual, warm and very wearable.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
Heart
- Bulgarian Rose Fresh, dewy and green. The 'real rose garden' version.
- Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
Dry-down
- Ambroxan Clean, mineral, skin-like warmth. The engine behind most modern 'beast mode' scents.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
