Rhizome Scents
Concrete Tide Eau De Parfum
High-rises at the water’s edge.
Concrete Tide captures the essence of coastal cities, where waves crash against concrete landscapes. Top notes of crisp marine accord and jasmine evoke a refreshing ocean breeze. The heart blends salt flowers, privet, and earthy patchouli, mirroring the harmony of sea and shore. Grounded by sandalwood, ambroxan, and botanical musks, the scent balances modernity with textured elegance, a unisex fragrance for the city-dwelling adventurer.
50 ML. 1,69 FL. OZ. Made in Italy.
Concrete Tide is a study in contrasts: salt and structure, breeze and backbone. It opens with a sharp marine accord softened by jasmine, like wind funneling through coastal streets. At the heart, salt flowers and privet drift over earthy patchouli, capturing that in-between moment where shoreline gives way to city. The base settles into sandalwood, ambroxan, and botanical musks—warm, mineral, and quietly addictive. Modern, unisex, and designed to linger like a memory of sun on concrete.
She is on holiday but the building doesn’t know that.
The high-rise stands still and serious, all poured concrete and a block of straight lines, its shell warm to the touch by noon. Stepsing into the corridor, the air smells like dust that has learned how to bake, cement, salt, old heat trapped in stairwells. It clings to her shoulders the way humidity does, intimate and unavoidable.
Outside, the beach flashes white and blue, too bright to look at for long. From above, the sea feels decorative, like something framed rather than real. She spends most afternoons leaning on the balcony rail, towel still damp from the pool downstairs, walkman on her ears, watching shadows crawl slowly across the parking lot. Chlorine follows her everywhere, a clean chemical ghost that mixes strangely with the sea air.
At ground level, someone has planted jasmine by the entrance. It shouldn’t survive there, but it does none the less. In the evenings the flowers open like they’ve been holding their breath all day. The smell rises thick and sweet, almost heavy, jasmine turning musky in the heat, flirting with the sharper scent of hot vibrating stone. She notices how it settles into her clothes, how later, back in her room, the air still carries it.
Nights are loud in a quiet way. Elevators hum. Pipes tick. Voices echo. The building exhales warmth long after sunset. She lies on crisp sheets, skin still warm, and feels suspended between things, between holiday and real life, between the natural and the building, between wanting to disappear into the view and wanting someone to notice her standing there.
By morning, the concrete smells clean again, like nothing ever happened. But the jasmine remembers. And so does she.

Founded in 2019 by Stefano and Andrea Aschieri alongside Dario Pozzi, Rhizome is the result of a shared passion for creativity, memory, and scent. What started as a collaboration between three minds rooted in fashion and design evolved into a perfume house that dares to be different—uncomplicated, unisex, and unapologetically modern.
Rhizome isn’t just fragrance; it’s a moment captured in a vial. Each Eau de Parfum is a memory distilled, a note that lingers like a first kiss or a fleeting sunset. Their philosophy is simple: luxury should feel personal, not pretentious; wearable, not exclusive. With a minimalist, artful approach, Rhizome invites a new generation to explore scent as an experience, a story, and an adventure, all at once.
In the words of the founders:“We believe in that memory of what perfume can deliver.”
