Henry Rose Torn is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Pascal Gaurin and Yves Cassar. Torn opens with Lily of the Valley and Freesia, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Henry Rose's Torn carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a bit of a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with fans raving about its dark, earthy vanilla and detractors smelling anything from nail polish remover to sour garbage. Definitely try before you buy.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Torn opens with a gentle floral whisper of lily of the valley and freesia, quickly yielding to a heart of delicate rose, jasmine, and violet. As it settles, a complex and earthy vanilla emerges, blended with creamy sandalwood, hints of praline sweetness, and a grounding touch of patchouli and musk. It's a surprisingly sophisticated take on vanilla, avoiding overly saccharine notes for a more intriguing depth.
