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
This is the scent of someone moving through a bright, cold morning with purpose, coat collar turned up, carrying a trace of sweetness under the crisp air. It reads intimate rather than expansive, with enough lift to feel polished and enough green texture to stay interesting up close.
How to wear
Best in mild to cool weather, where its cassis and tangerine stay crisp and the rose remains dewy rather than heavy. A light hand works well: one to three sprays gives a soft, close aura that blooms gently on skin and keeps its green, tea-like freshness in the air.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like roses that feel modern, airy and slightly tart rather than powdery or old-fashioned. It suits people drawn to floral-fruity compositions with a green, tea-like twist and a clean, understated style.

The nose
Jérôme Epinette. Known for lucid, material-driven compositions that feel polished rather than ornate, Epinette often builds fragrance around a few well-chosen notes and a clear emotional idea. His work for Liis fits that style: Rose Struck is a transparent, contemporary rose with green tea, cassis and citrus lifted into a soft, wearable floral.
Collaborators
Liis co-founders Alissa Sullivan and Leslie Hendin shaped the fragrance’s concept and creative direction, framing it as a study in contrasts and a fleeting seasonal transition. Their role appears central to the brief and the final aesthetic, even as perfumer credit varies across sources.
Liis’s story
Liis builds minimalist, story-led fragrances with short note structures, clean lines and a close-to-skin feel. The house favors wearable compositions that feel personal rather than loud, with an emphasis on conscious materials, sustainability and a distinctly California sense of ease.
Rose Struck’s concept
Rose Struck was conceived as a suspended moment: flowers frozen in ice, winter skies turning toward spring, and a rose caught between chill and bloom. The brand describes it as a modern reimagining of rose, built around contrast, impermanence and a vivid, tangy freshness.
Extra info
Rose Struck is one of Liis’s early core scents and is often described as the line’s vibrant rose. The name suggests a sudden flash of energy, matching the brand’s idea of a fleeting seasonal moment captured in scent. It is also positioned as genderless despite its floral profile.
