The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2019 by Victoria's Secret, Hardcore Rose is a bold Oriental Floral fragrance that redefines the classic rose scent. The composition opens with plum, adding a fruity and slightly sweet complexity to the floral notes. At its heart lies black rose, which brings an unexpected depth and richness to the bouquet. Set against a warm amber base, Hardcore Rose creates a captivating contrast between fruitiness and floral intensity.

How to wear it

Apply Hardcore Rose with two sprays to the pulse points. The plum top note fades relatively quickly, so it's important that the black rose and amber base notes are allowed to take center stage. This fragrance is best suited for evening wear when its rich and warm character can truly shine.
