A gorgeous, almost creamy rose floral with a little spice from the black peppercorn and oudh. This started as an experiment in combining all of my "white" materials but took on a life of its own when it sparked a memory of watching a man propose in the Portland Rose Garden.
Notes: white tea roses, transparent bone musk, white lilies, white oudh, a trace of vanillin and black peppercorn
White oudh (aetoxylon) is a different tree species than the agarwood of traditional true oudh. It does not have the animalic undertones that are common with this material, but it is wonderfully complex and provides an excellent base for transparent florals.

This makes me think of my Italian grandma's old wedding photos. Where she had the biggest and poofiest wedding dress that was the height of fashion at that time. Her cake is decorated using the Lambeth piping style that looks so delicate but that royal icing is hard as a rock and will cut you. This is a fragrance that is a duality of sharp and soft. Its fluffy and lightly sweet white florals balanced with bit of spice and citrus from the pepper and oud. It smells welcoming but like you wouldn't hesitate to cut someone if needed.
This fragrance is a skin scent. It lasted on my skin about 4 hours.
"Betrothed" is a refined, creamy floral fragrance with a surprising hint of warm peppercorn. The clean, "white tea rose" heart is elegantly balanced by subtle spice, creating a sophisticated and comforting scent. It's like a sunlit, elegant tea party in a bottle.
Typically I am an earthy, mossy, woody kinda girl. I go for what some would consider a more masculine scent profile, and while trying to diversify my collection I have found I’m very picky about florals…. But this one is special. This is such a light, airy scent but still manages to have some depth. It’s borderline addictive to me, I can’t stop smelling it when I spray it. Even while testing all the scents I got, I kept going back to this one over and over. It really is a magical scent, and I’m still surprised how much it’s caught my attention, being so far outside my typical style :)
I didn't think I would like this fragrance. I'm normally not someone that enjoys florals, but this one has won me over. The rose note is soft and complimented by the subtle spiciness of the black pepper. It's not overwhelming and doesn't remind me of the cellophane-wrapped soap that's been in my grandmother's bathroom for decades. It has a subtle sweetness to it. While, yes, it is a floral, there is something deeper... more unique wafting from the background that makes this fragrance one to remember. This is a clean, feminine fragrance with a slight kick to it, something that you wear when you want to be remembered... and if you want to take it up a notch, layer it with Brushfire... it's smokiness mixed with Betrothed's sweet rosiness is absolutely captivating.
this is a beautifully blended fragrance. it's creamy with the warmth of subtle pepper. there's an amazing soaring rose that feels clean and comforting. this feels like warm sun shining through flowy, white curtains.
