Just A Rose

Just A Rose from Floraïku, released in 2019, is a short, clear composition: people describe it as woody, floral and citrusy in equal measure, which matches its three notes.

Bergamot gives a bright, slightly bitter citrus at the start, a fresh, green sparkle that wakes the rose up. The rose itself sits at the heart, fresh and petal-like, more a cut flower in water than a jammy, heavy rose. Guaiac wood then adds a smooth, slightly smoky, almost tar-like dryness that gives the flower a grown-up, woody shadow and makes it feel less sweet and more modern.

Worn by anyone, it is a minimalist rose for people who find traditional rose perfumes too old-fashioned. Its clean, simple profile suits daytime, the office and spring or early summer, and it is an easy, quiet choice for someone who wants rose without powder or sugar.
