Winter Rose and Phenomenon ~ new fragrances from YOSH

Posted by Robin on 2 October 2006 5 Comments

YOSH Winter Rose fragrance

YOSH has launched Winter Rose, a limited edition (250 bottles), all organic botanical perfume:

Inspired by her travels through Turkey, perfumer Yosh Han created this aromatic odyssey. It evokes dreamy landscapes filled with lush textures and colors, spices from the markets, mysteries of the desert caves and ancient ruins, and glorious roses from Isparta. Winter Rose resplendently captures the beauty of roses with a tinge of cardamom.

Winter Rose is $200 for 8 ml, and is available at lacremebeauty and luckyscent.

Phenomenon, also by YOSH, was created for Sniffapalooza and is described as "a perfect silent reverie in fragrant, oiled hues". Notes include boronia, osmanthus, silver fir, rhododendron, vetiver and Moroccan cedar wood. Phenomenon is $100 for 8 ml at luckyscent.

    Glad you're feeling better, R! As to the Winter Rose, at that price it would have to send me into a delirium of pleasure and simultaneously lose me 20lbs…however the Phenomenon sounds interesting. I thought all rhododendrons were scentless, apart from a few azaleas. You live and learn!

    Thanks N, and LOL at “lose me 20lbs”…

    Don't know a thing about the rhodos — mine are all scentless, but I don't know enough about the species to comment.

    There is a rhodie eo made from the flowers and leaves and twigs of several species. Typically it's the leaves. Any rhodie “pure flower scent” would be synthetic. Since she's claiming this is a botanical perfume, I suppose it is the rhodie eo she's using. It starts out woody/herbal and then gets a bit of a floral note later on. Sometimes.

    Thanks, Anya – that sounds about right from the description of the scent. I was kind of hoping it would be the scent of those yellow azaleas that smell so sweetly spicy in the spring – I adore that scent. But the rhodi eo sounds much more likely.
