About

True Rose blooms with the fresh, slightly spicy scent of red roses, still dewy from the garden. Geranium and freesia lift the composition, adding a green, aromatic crispness rather than sugary sweetness. It's an uncomplicated, linear interpretation of the queen of flowers, aiming for authenticity over complexity, evoking a classic English rose.
