Think of this as Flowerbomb made for the glassy-skin era. The latest scent in the wildly popular franchise opens with a shot of fresh pear, bergamot and about-to-burst white flower blossoms that cede to a more complex bouquet advanced by a hint of rose. It's sheer and fresh without turning candy sweet — and goes a long way to show that less is more.
Choosing between levity and weight, yin and yang, or even queens and monsters has long felt like a fool's errand: don't we encompass all of the above? The latest scent from clean fragrance line Henry Rose doesn't make us pick just one. Right out of the gate, we're hit with a heady mixture of jasmine and sandalwood, then patchouli tempered with florals, like neroli. It's not feminine. It's not masculine. Instead, the balanced blend provides the sensorial comfort of cashmere throws, vanilla chai lattes, cedar closets and men's cologne. In other words, it feels like home.
Part bright and uplifting citrus (thanks to mandarin and bergamot), part smokey wood (including palo santo and cedarwood), this vegan juice is an olfactory dupe for a spicy margarita, effectively making happy hour anytime.
