Henry Rose Windows Down is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021. Windows Down opens with Earl Grey Tea, Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Broom, Jasmin Sambac, and Orange Blossom, and dries down to a base of Musk, Guaiac Wood, Oakmoss, and Clean Musk. Henry Rose's Windows Down carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Divisive yet intriguing, this citrus-tea scent is either a sun-drenched, fresh escape or a sharp, cleaning-product mess. Love it or hate it, its intimate projection and fleeting longevity mean you'll be reapplying often.

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 summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its intimate sillage and moderate longevity make it suitable for office wear where subtlety is key. It's a fantastic casual scent for daytime, particularly in warmer weather, but lacks the projection for formal events or the romantic allure for most dates.

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

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Jasmine Jasminum Grandiflorum Flower Extract from Jasmin Sambac
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Windows Down opens with a bright, zesty burst of grapefruit and bergamot, immediately uplifted by the aromatic nuance of Earl Grey tea. As it settles, delicate white florals, particularly jasmine sambac and orange blossom, emerge, adding a touch of sophisticated sweetness. The dry down is a clean, gentle embrace of soft musk and earthy oakmoss, creating a comforting yet airy finish.
