Angela Flanders Columbia Rose is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. Columbia Rose opens with Rose, settles into a heart of Sandalwood and Violet, and dries down to a base of Amber and Patchouli. Angela Flanders's Columbia Rose carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This isn't just a rose; it's a deep, introspective scent for those who want to wrap themselves in a powdery, slightly melancholic aura. Don't expect a bright floral frolic; this one's for quiet contemplation.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall

Its powdery, woody and violet floral composition leans towards autumn.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Date Formal

The powdery, woody, and amber accords give this scent a refined character, making it suitable for formal settings or a more intimate date. Its depth means it's a bit too heavy for casual daytime wear or the office, where subtle freshness is usually preferred.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Other declarable allergens

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Columbia Rose opens with a rich, soft powderiness that quickly unfurls into a velvety violet and rose heart. It’s got a lovely woody depth from the sandalwood, and a warm, resinous amber gives it an old-world charm. This isn't your garden-variety rose; it's a sophisticated, slightly melancholic bloom found in a hidden, dusty library.
