Vertus Oriental Rose is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. Oriental Rose opens with Lemon, Lavender, Cardamom, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Guaiac Wood, Rose, and Orris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Vertus's Oriental Rose carries an Acquired verdict, a powdery-led wear.

This one's a beast for performance, no doubt about it. You're either going to be captivated by its powdery rose and woody depth, or put off by a latex-like saffron note in the opening. Sample first, but if it works for you, it's a 'God tier' fragrance.

About

Oriental Rose opens with a bright spark of lemon and spicy cardamom, quickly joined by the unique, slightly camphorous scent of frankincense and a prominent saffron. The heart unfolds into a soft, powdery rose and iris, underpinned by earthy patchouli and the rich, smoky quality of guaiac wood. The base settles into a comforting warmth of vanilla, amber, musks, and a distinctive woody blend of vetiver, cedar, and sandalwood.
