Rosa rugosa

Rosa rugosa, also known as the Rugosa rose or Japanese rose, is a hardy, deciduous shrub native to eastern Asia. It is prized for its large, fragrant flowers that bloom in shades of pink, white, and purple. The rose's distinctive wrinkled leaves and hips (fruit) are also highly aromatic.

Fragrances featuring Rosa rugosa evoke a sense of natural beauty and tranquility. The rose's warm, comforting scent can induce feelings of relaxation and nostalgia. These fragrances are well-suited for everyday wear, as they have a timeless, elegant quality that is appropriate for a variety of occasions, from casual to formal.

Rosa rugosa is a popular ingredient in many floral and rose-based fragrances. Its sweet, slightly spicy scent is often used as a heart or middle note, blending well with other florals like jasmine and violet as well as woody and amber notes. Perfumes featuring this rose note tend to have a classic, romantic character.
