There are goth roses, butch roses, girlish roses, granny roses, femme fatale roses, but Room 1015 Hollyrose by Jerome Epinette is the first glam rock rose I’ve come across: equal parts over-the-top femme flower and rough roadie leather. Room 1015 founder and creative director Dr. Mike, a pharmacist-cum rocker, describes Hollyrose as “a black leather rose,” and, in its first stage, the fragrance is just that. Few perfumers know how to dirty up a flower with gorgeous results better than Jerome Epinette who composed this fragrance in 2017. Room 1015 Hollyrose starts out as a very female saturated rose, lolling around on a leather jacket from last night’s bar, with remnants of ashtray and hookah smoke. When I first sniffed Hollyrose by Jerome Epinette , I thought it was a big fluffy bunny of a rose, all pillowy, lipstick sweetness. But splashing it on more generously, that badboy leather kicks open the door, grabs Little Miss Rose and pulls her into a dark corner while a New York Dolls lick reverbs from the dance floor speakers.
