Henry Rose Menace is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Yves Cassar. Menace opens with Mastic, Lime, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Aquatic and Cypress, and dries down to a base of Virginia Cedarwood, Musk, and Patchouli. Henry Rose's Menace carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A throwback to 90s aquatic colognes, Menace is a love-it-or-hate-it scent. Some find it nostalgic and beautiful, others can't get past its 'generic men's aftershave' vibe.

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.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Virginian cedarwood Juniperus Virginiana Oil from Virginia Cedarwood

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

Menace opens with a bright, zesty burst of lime and tangerine, immediately uplifted by the herbal, slightly piney edge of mastic. It quickly plunges into a cool, almost salty aquatic heart, deepened by the crisp, green presence of cypress. The dry-down settles into a comforting base of Virginia cedarwood and earthy patchouli, softened by a clean musk that lingers on the skin.
