Demeter - Dark Roses

Rose water tea and thorny-stem Bulgarian rose petals form the heart, with davana blossom adding a fruity, slightly anise-like complexity. Red currants bring brightness; patchouli, dark amber, and Haitian vetiver anchor the base in something earthy and resinous. The result is a rose fragrance that doesn't smell like roses are supposed to smell — it smells like what roses actually are: complex, slightly thorny, and more interesting than the greeting card version.

ABOUT DEMETER

Demeter Fragrance has been making single-note colognes since 1996, built on one radical idea: that any smell worth smelling is worth wearing. From fresh-cut grass to thunderstorms to funeral flowers, Demeter's library is considered one of the most important archives of olfactory experience in perfumery — a reference point for naturalistic and conceptual scent design. Worn alone or layered, each fragrance is a study in precision.
