Terry de Gunzburg Rose Infernale is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Michel Almairac. Rose Infernale opens with Floral Notes, settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Vetiver and Incense. Terry de Gunzburg's Rose Infernale carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a seriously divisive scent. Some found Rose Infernale to be an intoxicating, mysterious rose-incense masterpiece, others were underwhelmed by weak performance or a soapy, green, or even 'skunky' take on rose. Definitely try before you buy.

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

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it versatile enough for day or night, though the darker, sensual character leans more towards evening and date wear. It's sophisticated enough for formal events but its 'gothic' edge makes it suitable for adventurous casual outings too.

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

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

Rose Infernale kicks off with an unexpected green and almost spicy nuance, quickly ushering in a dark, complex rose. This isn't your garden-variety bloom, but a brooding, velvety floral. As it settles, smoky incense and earthy vetiver weave in, adding depth and a slightly gothic edge. The overall impression is a dry, sophisticated, and slightly mysterious rose, far from sweet or overtly feminine.
