A Smoky Floral Echoing South Africa’s Untamed Past
Surrender to the wild with Haunted Rose, a smoky, spiced floral inspired by Macrostylis villosa subspecies 1 + 2, an untamed bloom once native to South Africa and lost to invasive species after 1960. Found only in a narrow stretch of rocky fynbos, it thrived in harsh, wind-swept conditions, its survival as defiant as its disappearance was swift. This fragrance is a trace of something fierce and unforgettable, an echo of wild beauty that refused to be tamed.
Scientific Reconstruction:
Through biotechnology, scent molecules from the Macrostylis villosa were identified and reinterpreted into a bold, smoky floral. Perfumer Jérôme Epinette approached the scent as a form of time travel, reconstructing not just the flower, but the entire environment it once inhabited.
Key Notes:
- Sandy Black Pepper & Saffron
- Rose Absolute & Passionfruit
- Warm Sandalwood & Amber
Why You’ll Love It:
- Not your typical rose, smoky, spicy, and just a little dangerous.
- Smolders on skin, warm, rich, and long-lasting without being heavy.
- A floral for people who don’t usually wear florals.
- A scent with a story, reviving an extinct South African bloom that grew wild and untamed.

Like a bouquet of roses you’d find in a dusty, spooky but beautiful old mansion. And the scent lasts forever - especially if you use the primer!

I have to say for years I’ve been making my own perfume with high quality essential oils etc. And the reason all perfumes the minute I sprayed it on I’d start sneezing sometimes I’d have an asthma attacks. But your perfume especially Haunted Rose not only smelled divine and long lasting…. Not once did I have a reaction. Love it so much.

This Rosey, Saffron, Sandalwood dream of a perfume is beyond perfection to me, I'm 27 turning 28 in June and let me tell you I will keep buying this beautiful perfume. Every time I go out to the movies or to work, the perfume works with my body chemistry and natural pheromones to make a beautiful scent. ( My first purchase was the body wash and the haunted rose made me fall in love.) Gave the Floating Forest and Solar Canopy to my mother. :)
