Henry Rose Smyth is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020. Smyth opens with Sorbet, Water Accord, Melon, and Apple, settles into a heart of White Tea, Star Jasmine, and Apricot, and dries down to a base of White Woods, Musk, Sandalwood, and Iso E Super. Henry Rose's Smyth carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Smyth is a divisive one. For some, it's a delightful, crisp green apple dream; for others, it's a fleeting ghost of a scent, gone before you can truly appreciate it. Don't expect it to last, but if you love fresh apple, it's worth a sniff.

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 Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Given its intimate sillage and moderate longevity, Smyth is perfectly suited for casual wear and office environments where a light, inoffensive scent is preferred. It's too subtle for formal events or most dates, but its freshness makes it good for sport.

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

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Woody amber musk Tetramethyl acetyloctahydronaphthalenes from Iso E Super

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

Opens with an invigorating burst of crisp green apple, juicy melon, and a hint of tart sorbet, giving it a playful, watery freshness. This bright beginning gently transitions into a heart of delicate white tea and soft star jasmine, with a touch of sweet apricot. The base settles into a clean, subtle musk with a whisper of white woods and sandalwood, offering a comforting, skin-like finish that lingers close.
