Fragrance information:

If you are looking for a fragrance that transports you to Ireland’s wild, windswept coastlines, Roads Bitter End is exactly what you need.

This unisex extrait, launched in 2014 by Irish niche house Roads, became part of the iconic Core Collection.

Inspired by the rugged beauty of western Ireland, it breathes with the freshness of rocky shores and green hills.

Creation Story

The Roads brand, founded by Danielle Ryan, is known for its philosophy of travel and connection with nature.

Perfumer Celso Fadelli created Bitter End, masterfully bringing the concept to life: a bracing, fresh fragrance, like a sea breeze.

It belongs to the Fougère and Green fragrance families, emphasizing its natural, herbaceous character.

Character and Sillage

Despite its Perfume Extract concentration, Bitter End has a very subtle, almost intimate sillage.

It is a whisper of a fragrance that unfolds close to the skin—an ideal choice for those who appreciate personal space and natural elegance.

Versatile in nature, it is suitable for both business meetings and romantic dates, adding energy and charm.

Similar Fragrances

If you enjoy Roads Bitter End, consider Cote Bastide Fig Leaves with its fig accent, The New Jerusalem Henna with its spicy nuances, or The New Jerusalem Holy—another unusual unisex fougère.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The composition opens with a vibrant green accord: fern, grass, and mint create the impression of a freshly mown meadow.

At its heart, fig leaf, olive, and thyme unfold, adding a spicy fruity touch.

A base of oakmoss, vetiver, and violet leaf lends lasting power and earthy depth, completing the impression of a cool, green fragrance.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
Low (1 to 2 hours)
2
Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage
Imperceptible
2
Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

I've never actually come across Irish fragrances, curious what they're like 🤔

What the hell kind of scent! The moment it joined my fragrance collection, it instantly became a true gem for me. Normally I pick scents based on my mood and outfit, but this one seems to be able to cover all bases. Honestly, this is just mind-blowing! Could this be true fragrance love

The smell of freshly cut grass is just incredible, so bright and lively! 🌿 A light olive nuance adds interest, though it's not too noticeable. The scent is truly captivating, but it doesn't scream about its sexuality
