HOW IT WEARS
Rose and Dragon is a juicy, spicy Rose that has a rich and dark leathery base. With so much going on, the Rose is always the star, its almost juicy with the Strawberry note. Settling into a deep, woody leather base Rose and Dragon is rich and strong…a little bit goes a long way.

We love the juicy dark rose note in Rose and Dragon. This is such a sexy fragrance, a strong, bold, edgy Rose fragrance.

If I had to describe Rose & Dragon in two words I would say ‘hauntingly sexy’. This fragrance tells a story of forbidden love, lust and betrayel. I smell a bouquet of matured red blood roses, mulled red wine, slight animalic and leather tones, spicy resins and cumin dipped in rich golden honey and smokey burning incense. It is a balance of hot and cold, good and bad, naughty and nice. It is rich, dark and full of character and charisma. I can imagine a sultry mistress wearing this scent to lure her next lover in, or a sophisticated looking man with eyes that tell you exactly what he’s after without saying a word when he looks at you. It’s the type of fragrance that is unforgettable, not only to the wearer but whoever smells it on you. It is alluring, captivating, dominating and intoxicating.. A scent that leaves no remorse. It’s the type of scent that you will be drawn to, one that will draw attention to you and one that is irresistible to everyone around you. It is simply exquisite.

Unsurprisingly very strong rose to start with an almost powdery vanilla/spicy hit. Felt a bit too ‘grandma’s perfume’ for me on initial wear but settles into pleasant, sweet floral vanilla after a few hours. I found it had good longevity, with noticeable fragrance lasting well into the evening after applying in the morning.
