Rook Perfumes Undergrowth 2020 Edition is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Nadeem Crowe. Undergrowth 2020 Edition opens with Grass and Mint, settles into a heart of Soil Tincture, Green Notes, and Mandarin, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Rook Perfumes's Undergrowth 2020 Edition carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A love-it-or-hate-it scent that perfectly captures an earthy, damp garden. If you're after a truly photorealistic experience of mint pulled from wet soil, this is your jam. Some find it a bit too raw, too fleeting, but for others, it's an utterly unique triumph.

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:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Fall

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate projection and natural freshness make it suitable for casual wear and even office environments where an 'outdoorsy' scent is appreciated. It's too unique and potentially polarising for formal events, and its green, earthy profile makes it a good fit for active, outdoor pursuits.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint
  • 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

Undergrowth opens with a powerful, almost bracing blast of fresh mint and green grass, instantly evoking a vibrant, rain-kissed garden. This verdant freshness soon melds with the striking realism of wet soil, adding an earthy depth. As it dries, the composition shifts to a soft, grounding blend of vetiver and patchouli, underpinned by a clean white musk, maintaining its natural, outdoor character throughout its wear.
