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.

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its distinct boozy and fruity-floral character, make it less ideal for a conservative office environment. However, it truly shines on a date or for a formal event where its sophisticated and unique aroma can be appreciated without being overwhelming.

About

Dancing Roses opens with a vibrant, boozy blast of sour cherry and brandy, immediately captivating the senses. This rich, tart fruitiness is swiftly joined by a sparkling litchi, adding a juicy, almost champagne-like effervescence. As it settles, a sophisticated rose note blooms, intertwined with hints of spicy pink pepper and saffron, giving it an intriguing depth that prevents it from becoming overly sweet. The dry-down retains a lovely balance of fruity sweetness and a soft, lingering floral warmth, reminiscent of a luxurious, adult cherry cordial.
