The Rose

The Rose from Musicology, composed in 2020 by Nathalie Lorson, is a floral fragrance with sweet and woody sides in equal measure. As the name promises, rose is the focus, framed by fruit and soft woods.

Raspberry opens with a juicy, slightly tart red-fruit sweetness that suits rose naturally. Damask rose and rose then fill the heart with fresh, velvety petals, supported by peony, which adds a light, dewy freshness, and violet, which brings a soft, powdery sweetness. Vanilla warms the base, while white woods and woody notes give a clean, pale and smooth finish that keeps the rose from becoming jammy.

This is a feminine rose with a gentle, modern feel. The fruit and vanilla touches make it approachable for everyday wear, from the office to weekends, and it suits spring especially well, though the warm base carries it into autumn. It should appeal to women who love rose but want it soft, slightly sweet and uncomplicated rather than dark or vintage in style.
