Rosam

Rosam by Histoires de Parfums is a woody rose, with amber warmth close behind and touches of spice and citrus. Gérald Ghislain composed it, it was released in 2011, and it is worn by anyone.

Citrus gives a short, bright opening before the rose arrives, here partly Taif rose, which brings a rich, slightly spicy, honeyed petal note. Saffron adds a golden, leathery spice that suits rose well. The base is deep and smoky: agarwood (oud) gives a dark, resinous wood, incense a dry, churchy smoke, and patchouli an earthy backbone, while sandalwood and amber add a creamy, warm finish.

This rose-and-oud style is best kept for autumn and winter, for evenings, celebrations and occasions where a rich, enveloping scent feels appropriate. It will appeal to anyone who enjoys the classic pairing of rose and oud and wants it balanced with smoke and creamy woods rather than sweetness, with a warmth that feels quietly opulent.
