Rook Perfumes RSX/05: Acresford is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Nadeem Crowe. RSX/05: Acresford opens with Smoke, Woody Notes, and Geranium, settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk and Cedar. Rook Perfumes's RSX/05: Acresford carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's intriguing, a smoky, woody rose that whispers secrets rather than shouts. It's a bit of a chameleon, hard to pin down, but definitely worth exploring if you're into something a bit different.

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.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • 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

Acresford opens with an immediate hit of woody smoke, a dry, almost charred aroma that's softened by a hint of green geranium. As it settles, a smooth, velvety rose emerges, intertwining with the smoky woods to create a rich, slightly dark floral heart. The base rests on a foundation of warm musk and sturdy cedar, maintaining that intriguing smoky earthiness with a touch of powdery sophistication.
