About

Rose after the dew has gone. Papery and tea-like, with dried fruit under it and the spice no longer hidden.

Scent Profile

Dried Rose smells of rose with the dew gone, papery and tea-like, closer to a cured leaf or an old book than to fresh petals. A dried-fruit sweetness sits under it, closer to old honeyed fruit than to a green stem. The spice that a fresh rose hides comes forward here, warm and clear. A dusty, powdery quality and a faint woody dryness round out a scent that has lost its green freshness.

What is ScentArt?

Origin

Fresh rose petals dried. Premiere Peau's glossary gives the mechanism: drying strips the volatile top-note molecules, citronellol, geraniol and nerol, and concentrates the heavier ones, rose oxide, beta-damascenone and phenylethyl alcohol. The result is not a weaker rose but a differently weighted one. Two routes are used: dried petals solvent-extracted into an absolute, or the effect built by blending rose absolute with tea-like, spicy and papery modifiers.

Usage in Perfumery

A heart-to-base rose for vintage and nostalgic effects. It blends with oud, tobacco, dried fruits and powdery-musky bases. Attested 21 times on Fragrantica and not at all on Parfumo, filed under Flowers. Reach for it where fresh rose would be too bright and too green.
