Falstaff rose, Jackson & Perkins

Perfumer's Notes: I started with the idea for Vintage Rose based on a dusky plum/wine/rose accord that I'd built and wanted to develop into a full fragrance. Amber, tonka, and labdanum make great companions for the rose accord, while the woods temper sweetness. Someone who tested the scent for me suggested the name Vintage Rose not just for the nostalgic rose but also for the hint of spiced wine in the accord (a great name idea, I thought!).
