Rose Hip

Rose hip is the small, round fruit that develops on rose bushes after the petals have fallen. These bright red or orange fruits have a sweet-tart, slightly tangy aroma with subtle berry-like and floral qualities.

Rose hip tea is beloved worldwide for its gentle, fruity flavor, and the fragrance carries similar appeal. In perfumery, rose hip brings a unique fruitiness that is softer and more subtle than typical berry notes.

It has a slightly herbal, vitamin-rich quality with a warm, tea-like dryness that feels natural and unpretentious. Rose hip works beautifully in natural, botanical fragrances and gentle, feminine compositions.

It bridges the gap between fruity and floral categories, carrying a hint of its rose parentage in its aroma. Rose hip pairs well with rose, other berries, honey, green tea, and light woods.

The note is particularly appealing in autumn compositions where its warm, harvest-fruit quality feels seasonally appropriate. Rose hip fragrances tend to feel gentle, nurturing, and connected to the natural world.
