Perfumer Alexandra Carlin plays rose against roasted coffee: a fresh, dewy rose water and peony open, before rose centifolia deepens into a dark, addictive heart alongside Kona coffee and wild violet. The drydown of myrrh, incense, and panettone (a bready, buttery gourmand accord) is where the fragrance shows its hand — warm, resinous, and quietly indulgent. Carlin has described the effect as \"sensual, youthful and opulent,\" built on what she calls coffee's \"gourmand duality\" of dark roast and creamy sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eScent Character\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFloral (rose, peony, violet) — 35%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAmber \u0026amp; Resinous (myrrh, incense) — 30%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSweet \/ Gourmand (coffee, panettone) — 25%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFruity (black currant) — 10%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTranslation:\u003c\/strong\u003e A rose fragrance at heart, but pulled toward the dark side by roasted coffee and warm resins rather than classic pink-rose sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFragrance Pyramid\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black Currant, Rose Water, Peony\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeart:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rose Centifolia, Kona Coffee, Wild Violet\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Myrrh, Incense, Panettone\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePerformance\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLongevity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Strong for an extrait — the myrrh and incense base gives Grand Master real staying power on skin.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSillage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bold in the opening hours as the coffee and rose assert themselves, mellowing into a warm resinous trail.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProjection:\u003c\/strong\u003e A genuine room-filler early on, best suited to cooler weather where the resins hold their shape.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eBest Occasions \u0026amp; Season\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eGrand Master's coffee-rose-resin profile is built for fall, winter, and cool spring evenings.
