Roses suspended in ice, vivid winter skies, tart blackcurrant, and the first signs of spring inspire Liis Rose Struck Eau de Parfum, a strikingly modern rose fragrance built around contrast, transformation, and fleeting beauty.

Rose Struck reimagines the familiar rose through an unexpected landscape. Cassis and tangerine form vivid clouds of tart fruit and sparkling citrus, while matcha tea introduces a distinctive green character. Beneath them, Damask rose and Centifolia rose create a crisp floral garden that feels fresh and alive rather than traditionally powdery or overly sweet.

Liis draws inspiration from flowers frozen in ice and dramatic winter skies gradually transforming into spring, using fragrance to explore contrasts and impermanence. Cold meets warmth, fruit meets flowers, and the lush familiarity of rose is sharpened by tart cassis and vegetal matcha.

The result is bright, green, floral, and beautifully contemporary. Rose Struck retains the unmistakable beauty of rose while stripping away many of the conventions surrounding it.

Created by independent California fragrance house Liis, Rose Struck is a genderless Eau de Parfum made with organic sugarcane alcohol and designed to be worn effortlessly like a second skin.

Rose Struck opens with cassis and tangerine, creating a vivid contrast of tart dark fruit and sparkling citrus.

Cassis brings the distinctive juicy sharpness of blackcurrant, while tangerine provides brightness and a sunnier citrus character. Together, they create a colorful opening that immediately distinguishes Rose Struck from a conventional rose perfume.

At the heart, matcha tea introduces a fresh green quality. Its vegetal character creates an unexpected bridge between the vibrant fruit above and the flowers below.

Finally, Damask rose and Centifolia rose reveal the floral core of the fragrance. The combination provides the richness and complexity of true rose while remaining crisp and contemporary within the surrounding fruit and greenery.

The overall effect is like a rose garden emerging from winter: cold air, vivid fruit, green leaves, and flowers suddenly returning to life.

The Story Behind Rose Struck

Rose Struck is a study in contrasts and impermanence.

Liis imagines flowers frozen in ice beneath dramatic winter skies, capturing a beautiful moment suspended between seasons.

Then everything begins to change.

Winter gives way to spring. Ice disappears. Color returns. Green shoots emerge, and roses once again begin to bloom.

Liis translates this transformation through materials that continually play against one another.

Cassis is dark, tart, and juicy, while tangerine is bright and sparkling. Matcha tea introduces the green character of new growth, while Damask and Centifolia roses provide the floral beauty waiting underneath.

Even the rose itself becomes part of the contrast. One of perfumery's most historic and recognizable materials is placed within an unmistakably modern composition of blackcurrant, citrus, and green tea.

Rose Struck captures a moment that cannot last: flowers emerging from ice, winter turning into spring, and the landscape transforming before your eyes.

It is rose seen through the Liis lens: familiar yet unexpected, beautiful precisely because it is constantly changing.

About Liis Fragrances

Liis is an independent California fragrance house founded by Alissa Sullivan and Leslie Hendin.

Although the two grew up only minutes apart, they did not meet until years later while living abroad. Both had collected perfume from a young age and shared a fascination with fragrance's ability to transform a moment, mood, or memory.

Alissa trained at the renowned ISIPCA perfumery school in Versailles, while Leslie brings a background as a designer, artist, and self-taught perfumer.

Together, they founded Liis as a creative expression using scent as their medium. Drawing upon personal experiences, emotions, images, and perspectives, each minimalist fragrance tells a story while leaving space for interpretation by the wearer.

Liis fragrances are intended to be worn daily like a second skin, becoming part of the wearer's own experiences rather than defining them.
