La Favorite
by Roos & Roos
La Favorite by Roos & Roos is a bold, heady oud-rose fragrance that balances intense spice with clean woodiness. It opens with sharp, radiant notes of pink pepper and saffron, layered over a vibrant agarwood (oud) base that feels both animalic and refined. A subtle, bright rose emerges as a counterpoint to the depth of oud, giving the perfume a luminous, almost alchemic quality. Patchouli and white musks add soft, airy sweetness without muddiness, creating a clean yet decadent aura. The scent evolves linearly—remaining true and present throughout the day—offering long, moderate sillage and lasting through the night. It feels elegant and intentional, with an almost French sophistication that lingers like silk, not dust.
