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.

About

Rose Charcoal opens with a dark, almost metallic rose, freshened by the tartness of redcurrant leaf and rhubarb. As it settles, a soft, powdery veil of peony and subtle pink pepper emerges, grounding the floral heart. The dry down is a smooth embrace of musky ambroxan and creamy sandalwood, with hints of suede and an earthy vetiver, giving it an undeniable contemporary chic.
