Rose Hip

2 perfumes

Rose hip offers a nuanced, tart profile that bridges the gap between floral delicacy and fruity vibrancy. Unlike the velvety, heady essence of a blooming rose petal, this note captures the wild, sun-ripened character of the fruit itself, presenting a crisp, slightly acidic sweetness with subtle hints of green apple and dried berries. Belonging to the floral family, it acts as a sophisticated bridge between citrus top notes and deeper woody bases. It pairs naturally with bergamot to sharpen citrus accords or with sandalwood to ground its inherent brightness. In the Gulf, this note is particularly effective during the transitional spring months, where its refreshing, non-cloying profile provides a clean, uplifting contrast to the heavy, resinous scents often favored in high-heat environments. It brings a modern, airy elegance to contemporary niche compositions.
