Henry Rose Dave is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Pascal Gaurin. Dave opens with Neroli, Pink Pepper, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Almond Blossom, Orange, and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Cream, Cacao Shell, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Henry Rose's Dave carries a Favourite verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

Dave is a controversial vanilla, praised by some as a nuanced, versatile gourmand and derided by others as synthetic and cloying. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent that defies simple classification, swinging from buttery popcorn to sophisticated dessert.

About

Opens with a bright, zesty hit of tangerine and pink pepper, soon mellowing into a creamy heart where almond blossom and a whisper of lavender add an intriguing, slightly nutty floral quality. The drydown is a rich, warm blanket of vanilla and tonka bean, softened by chantilly cream and a subtle hint of cacao. It's a complex, evolving gourmand.
