Rook Perfumes RSX/02: Flaming Dandelion is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020. RSX/02: Flaming Dandelion opens with Smoke, Teak, and Ylang-Ylang, settles into a heart of Marshmallow, Powdery, and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Amyris, Amber, Vetiver, and Oakmoss. Rook Perfumes's RSX/02: Flaming Dandelion carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a crowd-pleaser for a reason, blending smoky depth with gourmand sweetness. Approachable yet complex, it manages to avoid many of Rook's more challenging quirks. A bit expensive for 30ml, mind.

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

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate sillage and closeness to the skin make it suitable for office wear without being overpowering. The warm, cosy amber and vanilla notes lend themselves perfectly to casual outings and intimate date nights. However, the distinct smoky-gourmand profile might be a bit too relaxed for formal events.

Other declarable allergens

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

Opens with an intriguing, almost literal, impression of a burning flower, where smoky teak and fiery ylang-ylang mingle before melting into a comforting heart of toasted marshmallow and ethereal powder. The dry-down settles into a warm, inviting amber and vetiver base, retaining a delightful, almost burnt-sugar sweetness that lingers beautifully.
