Women's Rose Hip Fragrances

Rose hip in perfume is a fruity interpretation of rose fruit rather than a straightforward floral rose note. It gives compositions a tart, lightly sweet red-fruit character, with a subtle dry or earthy edge that keeps the accord from becoming syrupy. Its profile is usually more crisp and berry-like than petal-soft.

Used most often as a supporting note in the opening or heart, rose hip can brighten floral, fruity and fresh compositions while adding a natural link between rosy facets and deeper woods or musks. For women’s fragrances, look for it when you want a rose-related scent with more fruit, lift and gentle texture than a classic soliflore. Surrounding notes determine whether it reads juicy, softly tart or understated and dry.
