Damarose

Xerjoff Damarose is a Parfum launched in 2010. The fragrance opens with Red Berries, Bergamot, Lime, and Freesia, settles into a heart of Ylang-Ylang, Rose, Lily Of The Valley, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Rosewood, and Musk.

Our verdict on Damarose: Acquired

This is a seriously polarising rose. For some, it's the undisputed Queen of Roses- regal, sophisticated and captivating. For others, it's just a 'nice', overpriced floral reminiscent of supermarket shampoo or baby wipes with truly disappointing performance. Proceed with caution.

Its blendable floral and woody profile, coupled with varied reports on sillage and longevity - some find it an intimate skin scent, others a powerhouse - makes it fairly versatile. It leans heavily towards social and formal settings due to its elegant character, though its soft nature for some means it won't overwhelm an office.

About

Damarose opens with a bright, refreshing burst of red berries and bergamot, zesty and uplifting, before quickly transitioning into its floral heart. A dominant, fresh Turkish rose takes centre stage, softened and enriched by powdery iris, creamy ylang-ylang, and delicate lily of the valley. The base settles into a sophisticated blend of earthy vetiver, warm woods like sandalwood and rosewood, and a comforting touch of musk, amber, and vanilla, creating a soft, elegant finish.
