HOW IT WEARS
Weeping Rose opens initially with intense rose – jammy, velvety and floral. It quickly fades however, revealing crisp, sweet red apple, before its aromatic middle notes come out. The sharp juniper, green fig leaf, and damp, waxy orris root in the heart of this scent add to its complexity and freshen it up a little bit, balancing the sweetness of the rose and fruit. The base of Weeping Rose is maple leaves, rich vanilla and amber, reminiscent of a forest floor in autumn. With a concentration of up to 20% parfum, this fragrance will last 6-8 hours on the skin.
LORE LOVES
Weeping Rose is an absolutely breathtaking rose fragrance. The rose is certainly prominent at first, and while it becomes more subtle as the fragrance wears, you never lose it – it wafts throughout the wear like a breeze through a garden window. The green notes in the middle (especially the fig) render this fragrance super modern and wearable for everyone. It reminds us of Le Labo The Noir 29, and even a little of some of the more recent Penhaligon’s roses… but better than both in our humble opinion.
ABOUT THE BRAND
Founded by Sandy Wong in 2021, Chasing Scents is an Australian perfume house dedicated to capturing the essence of tea through fragrance.
Chasing Scents perfumes draw their inspiration from the experience and ritual of drinking tea, from enjoying it by yourself to sharing it with loved ones. Their scents are modern but still rich in their cultural roots, with formulas that use a variety of teas, natural extracts, aroma compounds and resins.
Sandy grew up in Sydney, Australia; where she grew curious about her mother’s miniature perfume collection from Hong Kong. Today, she is a scientist with a PhD in Chemistry. It was during her candidature she experimented with scents out of hours and discovered the scientific mystery of perfumes with her partner.
Many mainstream tea perfumes have a rather extrapolated representation of what a “tea” aroma is, using other notes to replicate the smell of tea. That’s where Chasing Scents is different – they use actual tea extracts to create realistic and true tea fragrances. Tinctures and soxhlet extractions of dried whole flower buds and loose tea leaves are performed over multiple cycles under strict conditions to obtain aromatic concentrates that smell good enough to drink.
