Room 1015 Power Ballad is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Amélie Bourgeois and Anne-Sophie Behaghel. Power Ballad opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, Lime, and Peppermint, settles into a heart of Anise, Cumin, Coriander, and Juniper, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, Labdanum, and Poplar (Populus) Buds. Room 1015's Power Ballad carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you, this is a soft ballad, not a power anthem. A subtle, spicy-woody vetiver that's surprisingly divisive given its easy-going nature. Skip if you're chasing beast mode, but consider it for a refined, understated day scent.

Scent Profile

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.

Its moderate sillage and longevity, coupled with its fresh-spicy profile, make it suitable for casual day wear and the office without being overbearing. However, the lack of punch and formal gravitas means it's less suited for sporty activities or more formal events.

About

Opening with a zesty burst of bergamot and lime, softened by a hint of cool peppermint, Power Ballad quickly transitions into an aromatic heart. Here, the sharp notes of juniper and coriander mingle with the warm, savoury spice of cumin and anise. The dry down reveals a grounding base of earthy vetiver and cedar, rounded out by the subtle balsamic richness of labdanum and a unique touch of poplar buds.
