About Burnt Rose
Burnt Rose is a green, energising floral eau de parfum for women, inspired by DKNY Women by DKNY. It is one of the most unusual fragrances in our range and the one that rewards an adventurous nose.
It opens with blood orange, deep and slightly bitter rather than sunny, lifted by a cold vodka accord that gives the first few minutes a crisp, glassy clarity. Then comes tomato leaf, which is the note that defines it: sharp, green, faintly bitter, much like brushing past a plant in a warm greenhouse. It smells alive.
The heart calms things down without losing that vividness. Yellow waterlily is watery and clean, orchid adds a smooth floral roundness, and daffodil brings a delicate green sweetness. Together they turn the opening's raw energy into something more composed and wearable.
The base keeps it grounded. White birch is pale, dry and slightly sappy, and tulip tree bark adds a woody softness that hugs the skin. There is no vanilla here, no sugar, nothing heavy, which makes it a genuinely modern fragrance.
Wear it in spring and summer, in the morning or the evening, to work, to brunch, to anything that benefits from feeling wide awake. Three sprays. It suits women who prefer green and architectural scents to sweet ones, and it is a lovely alternative for anyone tired of fruity florals.
If you love DKNY Women
If you love DKNY Women, Burnt Rose belongs to the same family. Both are built on a vivid green and citrus opening with tomato leaf as a signature, both keep a clean, watery floral heart, and both finish on pale woods rather than sweetness.
Ours is a shade richer in the opening. The blood orange is deeper and more bitter, which gives a slightly darker start than the original's brighter citrus, and our orchid is more prominent in the heart. The original is a little more transparent overall; ours has more body. Longevity sits around five to six hours with modest projection, as is typical for green florals. It is inspired by that fragrance and shares a similar character, though it is an original composition rather than a reproduction of it.

When to wear it
Spring and summer are its season, and it works equally well in the morning or at an evening gathering. It suits work, brunches and warm days when something sweet would feel heavy. Three sprays, one at each wrist and one on the throat. The 50ml at R120 is the sensible size for a fragrance you will wear often through the warmer half of the year.
Questions people ask
Does Burnt Rose smell like DKNY Women?
It shares the same green tomato leaf and citrus character that makes DKNY Women so distinctive. Ours is an original composition inspired by that fragrance rather than a reproduction, with a deeper blood orange opening.
Is there actually a rose note in it?
The name describes the mood rather than the formula. The florals here are waterlily, orchid and daffodil, and the overall impression is green and dewy rather than rosy.
Will it suit someone who dislikes sweet fragrances?
It is one of the best choices in the range for exactly that. There is no vanilla or sugar in it at all, only citrus, green leaves, clean florals and pale woods.
How does it behave on warm skin?
Warmth brings out the florals and softens the sharp green opening, so it becomes rounder and more comfortable as the day goes on. On cool skin the tomato leaf stays sharper for longer.
