From the perfumer
The rose oil in Smoked Rose comes from one organic farm in Egypt. The same family has grown and distilled roses on that land for generations.
I went to photograph the harvest. Picking starts in the dark, around three in the morning, and is finished by midday.
That morning a neighbouring field was burning. Smoke rolled across the rows while lunch for the pickers, heavy with cumin, cooked nearby. Smoked Rose is that morning, and proof that rose was never only for women.
What's inside
A complex composition. Not one synthetic.
Smoked Rose is layered from many natural essences, absolutes and resins, built in small batches. These are the threads you'll notice first.
Egyptian roseOrganic rose oil from a single family farm. Deep, jammy, never powdery.
SmokeA dry, campfire edge that keeps the rose from ever turning sweet.
Palo santoSacred wood, a little citrus, a little church. It wraps the outside.
CuminWarm skin, spice, appetite. The unexpected note people ask about.
Ingredients: organic sugarcane alcohol, natural fragrance (parfum), purified water (aqua). Natural materials can include known allergens; patch-test if your skin is sensitive.
