Rose Prick

It hits with the immediate, stinging heat of Sichuan pepper and turmeric, a sudden sharp wake-up call before the petals emerge. This isn't a soft, garden-fresh rose; it is a dense, layered bouquet of May, Bulgarian, and Turkish varieties that lean deep into their own sweetness. As the floral intensity settles, a woody base of patchouli and tonka bean grounds the composition, pulling it away from fragile territory. The sillage is assertive and architectural, lingering on the skin with an earthy, resinous grip that stays sharp long after the initial floral burst fades.
