About

Courageous Rose opens with a vivid spiced rose, brightened by bergamot, leading quickly into a heart of rich saffron and deep frankincense. It's a balsamic, almost sweet journey that settles into a woody base of sandalwood and earthy patchouli, with the rose maintaining a constant presence throughout. The incense adds a smoky, sophisticated edge.
