Rosefire

Rosefire by Hermetica is a vibrant, sweetly fruity rose fragrance that leans into a gourmand profile with notes of davana, violet, and a hint of apricot and peach. It opens with a sparklingly juicy rose that feels fresh and slightly tangy, reminiscent of syrupy fruit pastries or Turkish Delight. The dry down reveals a subtle, soft vanilla and slightly boozy, wine-like quality, along with a delicate saffron-greens touch that gives it a more complex, slightly spicy depth. The non-alcoholic formula contributes to a smooth, oil-based texture that clings to the skin and feels moisturizing, though some users report it can eat into the skin or create a faint film. Longevity is moderate to long, with average sillage that is more intimate than bold, and it performs better on clothing than skin. It is particularly beloved by those who enjoy playful, sweet rose scents—especially fans of floral gourmands—but the ashy, bitter dry down can be polarizing. While many describe it as bright, refreshing, and birthday-cake-like in quality, others find it cloying or unbalanced, particularly sensitive to its vinous or cotton-candy notes. It’s a versatile fragrance, suitable for both day and nighttime, and stands out as a standout in Hermetica's alcohol-free collection for its lovely, nearly contiguous scent profile from start to finish.
