BABYLON ROSE | Limited-Return Eau de Parfum - Rose, Oud, Saffron, Rain

Originally formulated in March 2020 as part of perfumer April Lea's passion-fueled side-project, the Cabinet of Scents, Babylon Rose pays homage to the Ancient City's bloom and the biblical rains which allowed for rampant flora to burst forth in an otherwise arid climate.

Babylonia — the gate of God, the land between two rivers. It's said that, once a year, rain and melting snow from nearby mountains would cause the Tigris and Euphrates rivers to overflow, flooding the region's canals and spilling over into the soil. These downpours gifted the inhabitants of Babylon with abundant crops of lush greenery and fragrant botanicals, such as the rose. As a performance of wealth and generosity, the city would encourage citizens of all classes to douse themselves in fragrance — a luxury normally only afforded to the wealthy.

Comprised of pure rose absolute and rose essential oils, an attar of oud, ancient spices of saffron, black pepper, and clove, and botanically composed rain and musk accords. 

Featured notes: 
black pepper · rose · attar of oud · saffron · clove · musk · petrichor

My favorite scent

I got the smaller bottle of this the first time around and regretted so much that I didn't buy the full size... I went sort of nuts getting the next batch. Bought it as soon as it came out!! It starts out kind of earthy and green, and I almost want to say humid, and then fades into this sticky sweet rose scent. The rose has citrus and saffron undertones so it doesn't smell like a grandma rose perfume at all. It literally smells like if you stuck your head into a garden wall on a summer day. Easily my favorite scent

Incredible

I ordered the 30ml this time, because I had only purchased the 8ml during the last release, and this newest release is even more incredible! The rose notes seem so much more complex and rich than previously. As a rose lover I am smitten.
