BORNTOSTANDOUT Burnt Roses is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Florian Gallo. Burnt Roses opens with Salt, Pepper, Ozonic Notes, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Oakmoss, Rose, Lavender, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Incense, and Frankincense. BORNTOSTANDOUT's Burnt Roses carries a Favourite verdict, an elemental-led wear.

Divisive and unique, Burnt Roses is a strange beast. Expect a clean, airy rose spiced with salt and pepper, softened by incense, but be warned: some find it disappointingly generic, others a masterpiece. It's a 'try before you buy' for sure.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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:
Spring Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate sillage and unusual, clean character make it versatile for casual and office wear without being overpowering. While unique enough for a date, its lack of traditional 'formal' warmth or sweetness might make it less suitable for very formal events. It's definitely not for sport due to its incense and rose notes.

About

Burnt Roses opens with an unusual, almost industrial freshness from aldehydes and ozonic notes, immediately cut with a sharp, savoury salt and pepper blend. The heart then blooms with a surprisingly clean and mellow rose, underpinned by earthy oakmoss and a whisper of cinnamon and lavender. As it settles, a dry, airy incense takes centre stage, woven with soft sandalwood and a subtle, musky ambergris, leaving a sophisticated trail.
