Our verdict on Lyric Woman: Acquired

Lyric Woman is a divisive beast, a deep, complex rose for the seasoned palate. Some find it a gothic masterpiece, others a dusty relic, but everyone agrees it's a bold statement.

About

Lyric Woman is a grand, theatrical rose, taking centre stage with an opening burst of warm, spiced ginger and cardamom. This quickly mellows into a velvety, dark red rose heart, supported by powdery orris and the subtly sweet whisper of ylang-ylang. The base offers a rich, lingering embrace of frankincense and creamy sandalwood, with hints of musk and patchouli adding depth and a touch of the enigmatic.
