Police To Be Rose Blossom is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. To Be Rose Blossom opens with Mandarin and Pear, settles into a heart of Jasmin Sambac, Heliotrope, Gardenia, and Licorice, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Patchouli. Police's To Be Rose Blossom carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Divisive yet addictive, this licorice-heavy vanilla bomb is either a bargain dupe of pricier gourmands or a smoky, play-doh mess. You'll either love its dark, sweet quirkiness or find it utterly unwearable.

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:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

With moderate longevity and sillage, it's suitable for a date or casual evening wear. Its dark, sweet character, and the occasional 'smoky' or 'heavy' descriptor from reviews, make it less ideal for office or formal daytime settings, and certainly not for sport.

About

Opening with a brief, juicy splash of mandarin and pear, this scent quickly deepens into a rich, powdery heart. Heliotrope and gardenia provide a creamy floral backdrop, but it's the prominent licorice that dominates, weaving through a warm base of vanilla, amber, and a woody cedar-patchouli blend. A persistent musk underpins the entire composition.
