Happy Valley

PRESALE. THIS DOES NOT SHIP RIGHT AWAY. YOUR ORDER WILL SHIP ON OR BEFORE NOVEMBER 6.

You'll get your tracking number as soon as you order, but your package won't move until it ships. Until then, tracking will only show that a shipping label was created. We expect this collection to sell out quickly.

A dark rose with the thorns left on. Sichuan pepper gives the opening a tingle, turmeric adds a dry, earthy warmth, and patchouli pulls the whole thing down toward the dirt. Then roasted tonka and tolu balsam soften the finish into something close to caramel. It's a rose for people who think they don't like rose.

Tom Ford released Rose Prick in his Private Blend line in 2020 and said it grew out of his own rose garden. The name is his, too: the small sting of a thorn that sets off the pleasure, and the risk of standing too close to something beautiful. Guillaume Flavigny is credited as the perfumer.

We named it for Happy Valley, the Taylor family's land in Carter County, Tennessee. Bob Taylor was born there, and in 1886 he ran for governor against his own brother, Alf. Bob said they were both roses, he the white and Alf the red, and their supporters wore the colors. It went down as the War of the Roses. At their stops the brothers argued politics, then picked up fiddles and played while the crowd danced. Bob won by about 16,000 votes. A pretty name with a little fight in it. Same as the perfume.
