Is Bitter Rose, Broken Spear still in production?+−
No, this fragrance has been discontinued. It was part of the brand's Hylnds collection and is now primarily found through secondary markets or private collections.
How does the rose note in this fragrance compare to other D.S. & Durga roses like Rose Atlantic?+−
Unlike the aquatic and salty Rose Atlantic, the rose in Bitter Rose, Broken Spear is dry, bitter, and surrounded by smoke. It lacks the "clean" or "fresh" qualities found in many floral perfumes, leaning instead into the spicy and metallic aspects of the flower.
How long does the scent typically last?+−
This fragrance is known for its strong longevity and presence. Users frequently report that a very small amount is sufficient to last through the day, cautioned by the fact that it can easily become overwhelming if over-applied.
Is this fragrance suitable for a professional office environment?+−
While it can be worn in any setting, its smoky, metallic, and "burnt" qualities make it more of a statement piece. It is generally considered better suited for leisure, evening events, or outdoor wear rather than a conservative business environment.
