January Scent Project Smolderose is a perfume oil launched in 2015, created by John Biebel. Smolderose opens with Orange, Mandarin, and Lemongrass, settles into a heart of Angelica, Rose, Geranium, and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Smoke, Oud, and Patchouli. January Scent Project's Smolderose carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Smolderose is a dark, smoky rose with honey, spice and a base of oud, birch, tobacco and labdanum. It is complex and intense, and it will not suit anyone who wants a light floral.

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.

About

Smolderose opens with lemongrass, mandarin and orange, a bright start that soon gives way. The heart is rose, geranium, pepper, angelica, honey, coriander and galbanum, spicy and sweet. The base is long and dark: smoke, labdanum, castoreum, birch, oud, tobacco, vanilla, patchouli, benzoin and cashmere wood. It is a unisex rose with a smoky, leathery and resinous depth.
