Rhodanthe
by Electimuss
Rhodanthe is a deeply complex, aromatic Oud-Rose scent with a rich interplay of spices, fruits, and woody notes. The opening features citrusy bergamot, lemon, and pear paired with clove and saffron, creating a bright, slightly medicinal top that soon settles into a warm, elegant heart of Bulgarian rose, pink pepper, and black tea. Over time, the fragrance evolves into a dense, resinous blend where oud and patchouli ground the composition, while vanilla, amber, and musk add soft sweetness and depth. It exhibits excellent longevity, lasting well beyond 12 hours, and projects moderately to strongly, making it ideal for cool weather and evening wear. The balance between floral, spicy, and woody elements creates a refined, unisex aura, evoking a dark, elegant setting like a high-end bar or courtly garden.
