A rose taken out of the garden
Most rose perfumes begin in a garden. Rose Magnitude begins on the edge of a pink salt lake, where heat, wind and minerals shape everything that grows. Vogue Adria notes that Goldfield & Banks treats scent as a form of travel, and this fragrance carries that idea into one of perfumery’s most classic flowers.
What does Rose Magnitude smell like?
| Stage | Notes |
|---|---|
| Sunrise (top) | Fresh Raspberry, Cumin Egypt, Orris Butter Morocco, Buckwheat |
| Summit (heart) | Damask Rose, Organic Ginger, Violet, Geranium |
| Sunset (base) | Black Vanilla, Tonka, Sandalwood Amyris, Papyrus India |
Vogue Adria describes a bright, juicy opening where raspberry meets the spiced contrast of cumin. The Damask rose unfolds with violet, geranium and the buttery depth of iris, before a dry, warm base of buckwheat, papyrus and sandalwood. Black vanilla and tonka add softness without classic sweetness.
Who will love Rose Magnitude
Rose Magnitude suits anyone who finds traditional rose perfumes too sweet or too polite. It is gender-free, with a woody floral character the house describes as alluring and addictive, and a concentration of 26% essences and botanicals.
