for her
Inspired by flowers frozen in ice and dramatic winter skies transforming into spring — a fleeting moment captured in scent. The crisp, green effect of cassis leaves is overlaid with blackcurrant sparkle, adding buoyancy to the syrupy rose. Matcha tea lends a brewed, vegetal quality.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
A bright afternoon with winter still at the edges: coat unbuttoned, cold air meeting warm skin. The rose supplies a little sweetness, while cassis and matcha keep the mood alert and unsentimental—a floral presence that feels lively rather than dressed for romance.
How to wear
Try it in mild spring weather or on cooler summer days, when the contrast between crisp fruit and sweet rose feels especially apt. Start with one or two sprays on skin and let it settle before adding more; a restrained application keeps the floral sweetness in balance with the green tea character.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy rose but prefer it sharpened by tart fruit and green textures rather than made powdery or opulent. It also offers an approachable route into florals for lovers of cassis, citrus and tea notes who want sweetness with a vegetal counterpoint.
Release year
2020 (or 2021)
The nose
Jérôme Epinette is credited as the perfumer of Rose Struck. Known for lucid compositions that give familiar materials a distinctive texture, his work includes Byredo Bal d’Afrique and several fragrances for Atelier Cologne. Here, rose meets the green bite of cassis and the vegetal character of matcha rather than a conventional romantic bouquet.
Collaborators
Liis founders Alissa Sullivan and Leslie Hendin shaped the fragrance’s creative concept: roses frozen in ice, a winter storm turning toward spring, and vivid pink-and-orange skies. Their brief centred on capturing an intense, fleeting moment.
Liis’s story
Liis treats fragrance as personal creative expression rather than a fixed identity. Founded by Alissa Sullivan and Leslie Hendin, the California house creates genderless compositions intended for everyday, second-skin wear, drawing on memories and emotions while leaving room for the wearer’s interpretation.
Rose Struck’s concept
Rose Struck belonged to Liis’s early collection alongside Bo and Studied. Its inspiration was a rose suspended in ice as winter gives way to spring, beneath vivid pink-and-orange skies. The composition translates that fleeting contrast into sweet rose, crisp fruit and vegetal matcha.
Extra info
The official composition names two roses—damask rose and rose centifolia—alongside matcha tea. Its name evokes the suddenness of a lightning strike, echoing the founders’ idea of an intense moment briefly held still.
Celebrity connection
Lily James is a reported wearer of Rose Struck and has shared the fragrance on Instagram.
