Lipstick Rose
About
A floral-powdery scent that opens with grapefruit and violet, then moves into rose, iris, and raspberry. Vanilla and white musk in the base create a soft, creamy trail. It feels vintage, expressive, and especially beautiful in cool weather.
Lipstick Rose opens with a sharp, almost sparkling duet of grapefruit and violet, like a powder cloud rising from a freshly opened lipstick. After a few minutes, rose, iris, and raspberry move to the center, making the scent denser, softer, and more vintage in mood. The floral-powdery texture stays steady, with no watery dip, creating the impression of an old Hollywood dressing table. In the drydown, vanilla and white musk smooth the contrast and leave a warm, creamy trail on skin. In character, this is a clearly expressive perfume, not meant to stay in the background. It performs best in cooler weather, when its powdery lipstick facets feel fuller and more dimensional. It suits wearers who enjoy retro floral compositions built around violet and rose.
