Hello Beautiful !
Crimson Rocks conjures the majesty of Al Hajar mountains in all their glory at dusk. Standing tall at the top, one is engulfed by a sweet sense of peace.
A powerful opening, ablaze with the bewitching red scent of Cinnamon and the warming brightness of Pink Pepper CO2, evokes the sight of smoldering mountain tops.
In the shade of sun-kissed jujube trees, an overdose of Rose Essence unfolds its plush velvet-lemon facets, infused by the tobacco and apricot undertones of Rose Ultimate. A luscious, exuberant and stuporous Rose, it drowns its scarlet petals in a flow of woody and animalic Sidr Honey, replete with aromas of fruity-sweet caramel and roasted hazelnuts.
With evening come the mists, the blueness and the balsamic and enveloping dark-rum scent of Oakwood CO2, contrasting the freshness of Vetiver and a dry, desert-like Atlas Cedarwood.
A rare, fulsome and spicy rose, Crimson Rocks conjures up the majesty of Al Hajar mountains in all their crepuscular glory.
For this fragrance, Amouage brought to life an intense Rose, one that is resilient to withstand extreme weather yet gentle, welcoming and just like the mountains it calls home, rooted to stand the test of time. Texturing the Rose are red notes of Cinnamon and an earthy Jujube Honey Accord which along with Oakwood and Cedarwood paint the Al Hajar mountains in deep crimson hues.

“While creating this fragrance, I was inspired by the crimson colour of the Rock Rose of Al Hajar and the shade of its mountains illuminated by the last rays of the April sun.
"I have used two different and innovative Rose extractions, allowing their majestic scents to unveil directly in the top note and then to reveal other facets in the heart of the composition. It is textured with Cinnamon Essential, which ‘smells red’ in my mind, but also with a surprising Jujube Honey Accord, recalling the specialty of the region. Finally, I have built a potent dry down with the heady, addictive notes of Oakwood, enhanced with Vetiver and Red Cedarwood.""
