The Story

Musk Rose is a bold, animalic rose that feels both vintage and modern. Marissa Zappas blends a rich, jammy rose with a dirty, skanky musk that gives it an edge. It's a fragrance for those who love classic florals but want something with a bit of grit. The drydown is warm and slightly sweet, with a touch of leather.

Is Musk Rose very animalic?+

Yes, the musk is quite dirty and skanky, but it's balanced by a rich rose. It's not for the faint of heart, but fans of classic animalic fragrances will love it.

How does this compare to other rose perfumes?+

Most rose perfumes are clean and romantic. Musk Rose is the opposite: it's raw, sensual, and a bit rebellious. Think of it as a rose that's been left in a leather jacket pocket.

I get about 7 hours with moderate projection. The musk and leather base really cling to the skin.
