The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Windows Down by Henry Rose was launched in 2021, a creation by perfumer Céline Barel that captures the essence of an open-air moment. The fragrance opens with bright citrus notes like bergamot and grapefruit, blending seamlessly into a heart of orange blossom and jasmine sambac, while earl grey tea adds a subtle twist. The base is anchored by musky and woody elements, including oakmoss and guaiac wood, creating a warm and inviting trail. This composition embodies the brand's commitment to quality and sophistication without compromising on safety.

How to wear it

Windows Down is best applied in layers. Start with a light spritz on the wrists and neck to let the citrus and fresh spicy notes bloom. As they fade, the musky and woody base will emerge, providing warmth throughout the day. This fragrance works well for daytime wear when you want a subtle yet engaging scent.
