Rose d'Homme

Rose d'Homme by Les Parfums de Rosine is a deliberately mature and evocative rose scent designed for the urbane male or gender-fluid individual who embraces sophistication over convention. It opens with a bright citrus and lavender lift—bergamot and lemon give a fresh, almost inviting crispness that quickly tapers into a powdery, slightly animalic core. The rose note does not dominate immediately, instead emerging subtly in the dry down after a transition through leather, patchouli, and vanilla, creating an impression that is more rosy-sweet than sweet-rosy. The leather is discreet but persistent, anchoring the scent with a sensual, intimate presence that lingers close to the skin—somewhere between a notch on a cuff and a whispered promise. While some find the opening reminiscent of fresh diapers or a delicate baby powder, the overall journey is one of refinement: shifting from aromatic, slightly jagged beginning into a smooth, vanillic, woody-leathery finish. The scent is quietly provocative, not overtly sexual but certainly poised and confident. On cooler skin it lasts moderately well—around five to ten hours—while sillage remains modest, intimate, and unpredictable.
