The Harmonist Metal Flower is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Metal Flower opens with Rose Oxide, Orange Blossom, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Rose, Ylang-Ylang, and Grasse Rose Absolute, and dries down to a base of Patchouli and Clean Musk. The Harmonist's Metal Flower carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a polarising rose; some find it a gorgeous, elegant, metallic freshie, others a sharp, headache-inducing, soapy mess. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so test it on your skin before committing.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

With moderate longevity and sillage, Metal Flower is versatile enough for many settings. Its clean, fresh profile makes it suitable for office and casual wear, while its elegant rose heart elevates it for date nights. The metallic aldehydic opening might be a bit sharp for very formal events, and it's certainly not a gym scent.

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.

Other declarable allergens

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

Metal Flower opens with a unique aldehyde and rose oxide accord, giving it a cool, slightly metallic edge that underpins a bright, airy orange blossom. As it develops, a bouquet of sophisticated roses, especially Grasse rose absolute, emerges, lending a dewy, clean floral heart. The dry-down settles into a soft embrace of clean musk and a subtle hint of earthy patchouli, providing a grounded finish to the shimmering top notes.
