Thorns Become Roses is a contemporary rose, full of contrasts, that embodies transformation, evolving from a vivid and luminous opening to an intense floral heart, before settling into a deep and enveloping woody and amber base. Crafted as a perfume extract, it redefines the rose through a balance of tension and softness, offering a structured, sensual, and constantly evolving olfactory experience.
Luminous and vibrant lychee and raspberry meet the metallic intensity of saffron and cardamom, evoking the intense brilliance of midday light on the cliffs of Petra.
At its heart, Turkish rose unfolds with a dense and velvety depth, contrasting with the leathery green facets of violet leaf and the powdery softness of mimosa. A rose that is both thorny and tender, asserting its beauty through contrast.
The base rests on a long-lasting, mineral trail of amber wood and patchouli, softened by creamy sandalwood. Here, tension gives way to a tranquil radiance—neither sweet nor austere, but balanced, tactile, and enduring.
