Base notes : patchouli, tonka bean

"The sting of a rose. The slight pain that brings such sensual pleasure. Inspired by my own rose garden, ROSE PRICK is a wild potpourri of intoxicating and rare combinations. A trilogy of Rose de Mai, Turkish and Bulgarian roses. Clear and untouched. Warm and sensual. An exciting bouquet of flowers in pink perfection. The danger of being so close to true beauty amplifies the seductive power of ROSE PRICK.

This beauty is evident right from the start: the fragrance opens with a floral bouquet of Bulgarian roses and Rose de Mai, punctuated by the pungent fire of Szechuan pepper and the ginger-like notes of turmeric extract. The heart note of ROSE PRICK is Damask rose, one of the rarest types of roses in the world, of which more than a million blossoms are needed for one kilogram of rose oil. As her beguiling scent unfolds, Indonesian patchouli diffuses a hint of woody chypre and roasted tonka bean warms with notes of caramel and vanilla. A finish of tolu balsam and notes of intoxicating musk capture the blushing beauty of luminous flowers on a thorny branch. The finish is so sweet that the beauty of the rose is remembered long after the thorns have been pricked.
