Fragrance information:
The perfume house DSH Perfumes is an American dream of niche artistry, born in Boulder, Colorado, in 2000.
Its founder and perfumer, Dawn Spencer Hurwitz, creates fragrances inspired by vintage classics and bold experimentation.
One of the brand’s most striking and provocative releases is Dirty Rose, launched in 2009.
This is not just a rose—it is a rebellious, resinous, sensual portrait of a flower unafraid to get “dirty.”
Character and wearability
The fragrance belongs to the Floral family, yet its character is far removed from innocent bouquets.
Dirty Rose is positioned as a unisex eau de parfum, with a noticeable sillage—this perfume will not go unnoticed.
It is made for those who seek complex, multifaceted compositions and are not afraid of provocative individuality.
Perfect for cool seasons, evening outings, and special moments when you want to make a statement.
Notes and development
The composition is built around contrast: a spicy opening of bergamot and pink pepper quickly gives way to a blazing heart. Here, rose meets smoky incense, iris, and tart tobacco.
The lingering base is a true symphony of dark facets: amyris, ambergris, labdanum, a leather accord, mastic tree, oakmoss, styrax, and vetiver.
Recurring accords of rose, leather, and incense create the impression of a unified, pulsating rhythm.
Influence and similar fragrances
Dirty Rose became an important milestone for DSH Perfumes, cementing the brand’s reputation as a bold experimenter with vintage-inspired motifs.
If you have fallen in love with this fragrance, explore other unconventional roses: Salvatore Ferragamo F by Ferragamo, Terry de Gunzburg / By Terry Rose Infernale, and Givenchy Gaiac Mystique—they share the same daring spirit.
