Tobacco Rose

Inspiration
In literature and poetry the rose is forever bound to a sweet, old-fashioned and pretty stereotype. Tobacco Rose combines the scent of overblown roses with rich, mineral notes, as though breathing in not only the fading petals but the earth from which the rose grows. A perfume that rejects prettiness and unites the opposing masculine and feminine elements of nature. The ambergris was beachcombed on the British coast.

The Signature of Tobacco Rose
Bulgarian rose and rose de mai form a velvety backdrop against a rich, smoky base of French hay and earthy oakmoss. Soft animalic touches of ambergris and beeswax, suspended in musk, turn this rose into something enigmatic and unmistakable.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
We see Tobacco Rose as a scent for those who love earthy, velvety perfumes with a story. On the skin we notice how Bulgarian rose and rose de mai set the tone in the first hour, after which oakmoss and beeswax slowly come forward. After several hours mainly hay and ambergris remain, close to the skin and ever more personal. We like to wear it best in autumn and on cool spring days. A scent for those seeking a rose that is earthy and idiosyncratic rather than pretty.
