Hey Jude

Scent Family: Soliflore Of the over one hundred roses that I grow in my garden the one with the most intoxicating scent is the David Austin rose Jude the Obscure. Jude, with its quietly elegant blossoms the color of clotted cream and its endlessly unfolding cup-shaped petals, exhales a peachy rose fragrance with an under-current of sheer clean musk. I created Hey Jude, an exquisite fruity rose, using my Jude the Obscure rose for inspiration. The foundation of this luscious peachy fragrance of both Jude the Obscure rose and Hey Jude perfume are musky aromas. Something I had read about in antique perfume books but had never done before: I used all three historical animalics together - musk, civet, and ambergris. I was amazed at the elegant synergistic way that all three together made the rose shimmer. Character: peachy rose with light musk. Fragrant Notes: bergamot, yellow mandarin, apricot, peach, Turkish rose, ten-year-old ambergris tincture, Ross' aged musk, antique civet.
