Rose Désir - Damas

Rose Désir - Damas from the French house Fiilit, composed by Amélie Bourgeois and released in 2022, is a bright, spiced rose with a boozy edge. Citrus is the word everyone uses for it; about two thirds also find it spicy or floral, and a third gourmand.

Mandarin, yellow mandarin and bergamot give the opening a juicy, slightly bitter brightness, and red berries add a tart, jammy fruitiness. Cardamom and saffron bring a warm, aromatic, slightly leathery spice. Rose is the heart, full and slightly honeyed, with geranium adding a green, minty, rosy sharpness beside it. Rum gives the base a dark, boozy, slightly sweet warmth, sesame a toasted, nutty note, and vanilla a creamy softness that rounds everything off.

Rose Désir - Damas is worn by anyone. Its warm, bright character suits autumn and spring and works from day into evening, and it should appeal to someone who likes rose with citrus and spice rather than in a powdery or soapy form.
