Henry Rose London 1983 is the first warm, sheer musk from Michelle Pfeiffer’s transparent fine fragrance brand, and this intimate, second-skin scent was inspired by a decades-long search for an unforgettable musk she discovered on King’s Road during the same year this new eau de perfume is named after.
Crafted by perfumer Patricia Choux, London 1983 opens with an unexpected contrast of creamy fig sweetness pierced by the bite of black pepper. After immediately intriguing the senses, this perfume settles into aquatic water lily and delicate jasmine for a sophisticated heart that feels both airy and refined. The dry-down reveals a grounding base of sensual musk and warm blonde woods, elevated by sustainable vetiver bourbon and upcycled Orcanox that add depth to this captivating scent.
