Description
Rose Struck by LIIS presents a modern and fresh interpretation of the classic rose, drawing inspiration from the delicate beauty of flowers encased in ice and the transformative shift from winter to spring. It opens with a vibrant burst of juicy tangerine and tart black currant, creating a lively and bright introduction. As the fragrance develops, a unique matcha tea note emerges in the heart, lending a subtle green and slightly earthy counterpoint that keeps the composition feeling contemporary. The dry-down settles into a beautiful blend of Damask rose, May rose, and Rose Centifolia, offering a dewy, pure, and natural rose garden experience that feels both intimate and enduring. This scent captures a fleeting moment of natural beauty, balancing floral softness with a crisp, modern edge. Perfumers: Alissa Sullivan and Leslie Hendin
