Composed by Christian Carbonnel & Santi Burgas
This love is not free; it is buried under a layer of stones that no one dares to move. SANTI BURGAS Flaming Red gives it the color of a Bulgarian rose, the pulse of passionfruit, and the darkness of Laotian oud.
Bulgarian rose and passionfruit open the perfume, simultaneously velvety and tart. The tropical fruit does not make the rose cheerful; it gives it an accelerated, almost nervous rhythm.
Tuscan iris root introduces a cool, powdery earthiness. With the rose, it acts like a pale surface over a hidden warmth, like a face trying to remain calm while the heart races.
Christian Carbonnel and Santi Burgas dedicate the composition to a true love punished by solitude. The story is not romantic in a safe sense; the presence of another person becomes a physical force that cannot be silenced.
Laotian oud, amber, and bourbon vanilla later darken the flowers. Vanilla softens the oud, amber spreads warmth, and passionfruit remains a red spark deep in the base.
Flaming Red is not a rose for a carefree outing. It is a Bulgarian rose with passionfruit, iris, and oud buried under stones — a love for which they left only one way to keep burning.
