Ruth Mastenbroek Firedance is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Ruth Mastenbroek. Firedance opens with Red Apple and Lemon, and settles into a heart of Leather, Rose, and Cashmeran. Ruth Mastenbroek's Firedance carries an Acquired verdict, a rose-led wear.

This one's a proper marmite fragrance - you'll either adore its smoky, fiery rose or be running for the hills. Definitely one for the bold, but sample first unless you fancy smelling like a bonfie gone wrong.

Its potent, smoky character and significant longevity make it unsuitable for the office where it could overwhelm. It shines brightest on dates or informal evening events, where its mysterious allure can be appreciated without being overbearing. Due to its intense sillage and lasting power, it's a poor choice for casual daytime wear or sports.

About

Firedance opens with an intense, dry, almost medicinal smoky oud that quickly makes its fiery presence known, a far cry from the expected fruity top notes. As the smoke eventually settles, a rich, dark rose emerges, entwined with a distinct, high-quality leather. The earthy depth of patchouli and the soft warmth of cashmeran eventually smooth out the edges, leaving a luxurious, complex skin scent. It's a scent journey, not a static perfume.
