🌹 The Inspiration: A Rose in the Woods
A single wild rose growing at the foot of a massive oak tree. Rose & Ancient Wood adds a layer of dark, romantic floralcy to the masculine wood base. It is a study in contrasts: soft vs. hard, floral vs. woody.
🧪 The Olfactory Architecture: Petal and Bark
The scent opens with Pink Pepper and Rose Water. The heart is Dark Damask Rose and Geranium. The base is Oakmoss, Oud, and Patchouli. It is a dark, gothic floral.
🌿 Raw Material Sourcing: The Flowers
-
Damask Rose Absolute (Bulgaria): Rich, spicy, and honeyed.
-
Geranium: Bridges the floral rose and the green wood.
🧠 The Scent Psychology: Romance and Depth
Rose and wood combinations are classic indicators of sophisticated romance. Rose & Ancient Wood is genderless and seductive.
🇬🇧 The London Lab Technology
We used Petal-Wood Fusion. We distilled the rose oil over oak chips to infuse the woodiness directly into the floral note.
✨ The Application Ritual
When to wear: Dates, formal events, or art galleries.
Where to spray: Neck and behind ears.
Style pairing: Velvet, dark red, black suits, artistic style.
💭 From the Perfumer's Diary
"It's poetic. The rose makes the oak feel softer, and the oak gives the rose a backbone. It's very niche and very special."
