Occasion
AllThematic Territory
A rose that refuses to be pretty. Cumin's body heat and cedar's dryness strip the flower of its sweetness, leaving something closer to skin than garden.
Era & Context
Deconstructed
Part of the mid-2000s movement to reclaim rose from its feminine-coded, old-fashioned associations. Alongside fragrances like Malle's Portrait of a Lady, it proved rose could be worn by anyone without irony.
