Rose d'Isparta

Rose d'Isparta by Boucheron, released in 2020 and composed by Sonia Constant, is a spicy rose. Spicy and floral are the accords everyone names; most also find it gourmand, musky and amber, and about a third note a woody side. It is a warm, sweet take on the flower rather than a fresh one.

The notes are listed together. Ginger and cinnamon give a warm, tingling opening, with saffron adding a leathery spice. Turkish rose and rose form the heart, deep and slightly jammy, with freesia and hawthorn adding a lighter, greener floral touch. Incense threads a dry smoke through the middle. The base is rich: vanilla and tonka bean bring sweetness, sandalwood a creamy wood, amber a resinous warmth, and musk and ambrette a soft, skin-like, slightly nutty finish.

It is a shared fragrance, worn by anyone. The spice and amber point to autumn and winter, evenings, dinners and occasions, and it suits people who love rose but want it warm, sweet and enveloping rather than dewy.
