Tiger By Her Side 오 드 퍼퓸

The Moroccan rose really comes through on my skin after about an hour, turning the amber into something soft and almost cozy. I keep catching whiffs of it during the day and it genuinely makes me feel more grounded, like a protective layer.

The frankincense in this opens sharp and grounding, then the Moroccan rose melts in and softens everything without turning powdery. I’ve worn it to work and to bed, and it somehow feels protective but not heavy. This is the first perfume in ages that I actually finish.

I was skeptical about rose-heavy scents, but the Moroccan rose here is soft and grounding, not powdery at all. The amber base makes it last through my whole workday, and the frankincense gives it a quiet, confident edge that feels like armor.
