Sheep's Clothing

Sheep’s Clothing is probably my favorite fall (and winter) scent, and for good reason. It’s one of those fragrances that reads deceptively simple at first but becomes more intriguing the moment you spritz it on your skin. There’s this beautiful tension between sweetness and spice that keeps it from ever leaning too far in one direction. The sweetness is warm and almost comforting (soft, inviting, a little indulgent) but then the spice slips in and sharpens everything just enough. It creates this really satisfying contrast that is both playful and also sophisticated. It’s the kind of scent that feels both cozy and a little subversive at the same time. What I love most about it is the personality it has. It reminds me of something a cool avant-garde woman would wear; someone effortlessly stylish, a little unconventional, the type of person who seems both polarizing and magnetic without trying too hard. It has that same energy: feminine but not overly delicate, sweet but never naive. In the fall it absolutely shines. The warmth of it blooms in cold air, while the spice keeps it lively and interesting. It’s soft, a little mischievous, and incredibly chic. Honestly the name is perfect; Sheep’s Clothing feels gentle on the surface, but there’s definitely a little bite hiding underneath.

I’m drooling. I really love Henry Rose frags. Simple modern aesthetic, interesting but never pretentious scents, clean and ethical *chefs kiss* This is indeed in the vein of glossier you. Many other versions exist, but this is my favorite. It’s the most sophisticated imo. The pink pepper here is outspoken. Very green, a bit sour, a bit sharp, but warmed up by the musky orris and ambrette. The powdery base gives a lived-in coziness, married with fresh dewy florals and dry woods. There’s also a waxy makeup quality I love. It’s just so chic. I want to be in a timeless blouse and kitten heels strolling the streets of paris in this, curls messily tied up, turning heads with a mysterious feminine scent trail. Ethereal classy sex appeal. This is still soft without much projection, but I find it superior when comparing quality AND lasting power to other perfumes of this category (you, fleur de blonde, radiant nectar, god is a woman)

I’m about 100% sure that Michelle the owner, went to the perfumer and said “I want a clean glossier You”. Andddd they nailed it. It’s fleeting, doesn’t last long at all. But it is 9/10 identical. The only difference is that You has a touch of powder where this is not that at all. It very much smells like a clean scent. I use the lotion which is basically a must for any lasting power with this.. I’ve also started using a base perfume I already own and spraying this on top of it so it smells clean and luxe. To me, Dark is Night smells just like TF Black Orchid and I use that on top for a very smooth luxe finish. I won’t be doing that forever, just until I use up my old bottles.

I absolutely love this perfume. I am sensitive to really strong fragrances and am more of a skin scent kinda girl. Just for reference the perfume I used prior to buying this was Glossier's You perfume. I feel like Sheep's Clothing is You but better. It smells a lot like You on my skin but without the overwhelming chemical scent that is in You. I really love this one a lot...on first spray I get a lot of pepper but it fades within 5 minutes into a cozy and clean musk that is very unisex. I legit wish that I could bathe my entire body in this scent that is how much I like it. A gorgeous clean musk that is very soft

I love this perfume. I also love Flora Carnivora, which I have as well. Sheep’s Clothing has a wonderful pink pepper scent, with a whiff of a more subtle, lightly aromatic rose and something that reminds me a bit of the earthiness of Windows Down. I’m a college professor, and I feel absolutely comfortable wearing this in class (not too loud) and when I’m in my office. And, I love sniffing my wrist during the day. It’s definitely subtle, but still there after 6 hours of working and teaching.

I just bought this scent last night and decided to wear it today to work. It's already become one of my favorite work safe scents. A rose and a peppercorn battle for attention initially and then dry down to a pleasant, delicate skin scent. The peppercorn is a wolf in the floral sheep's clothing. A pink peppercorn embedded in the petals of a rose. A spicy note hiding in plain sight and then disguising itself an innocent lamb. I sprayed more than I usually do because of how soft it is.

This moves closer to a love every time I wear it. There was the occasional spray when I first got the bottle that leaned into that hamster cage smell, but that seems to have passed and now it's just SO good: a peppery, woody, dry rose that I can't get enough of. Lasts ages on my skin, too. I love wearing this one to bed or on stressful days because it's very soothing, but it's far from boring - there's an almost sour note under it all that really lends itself to the name.

I love this perfume. It's not complex but it's fresh and light and easy to wear. I have stayed away from commercial scents because they all smell synthetic to me and I can't stand that. I never thought I'd like anything rose scented and personally I can't smell rose at all. This leaves a trail that smells delightful. It doesn't project much but I can smell it on my clothing and others around me can smell it. I really love it.

Beautiful! :) fresher, lighter rose otto (not the typical victorian rose scent) balanced with jasmine and orange blossom - my two favorite flowers - and clean, soapy musk! Like all of the Henry Rose scents, the purity is wonderful!! May need to reapply midday (as is the case with any truly clean fragrances), but they do have sample and travel sizes, so that's easy to do and well worth it! :)

The smell of cotton, paper or clean wool, backed by faint berry-like sweetness and aromatic pink peppercorn. I don’t detect rose per se, if anything it adds a bit of dewy freshness to the composition. Quite delicate, almost translucent, but stunning. I’ll forget I’m wearing it, then all of a sudden I get this beautiful flush of soft, floral, candied air.

I’m not a fan of rose, but somehow I adore this fragrance. The rose is there but not typical, softened by the strong musky notes. I get the most pleasant undertones of pencil shavings (iykyk) and underlying damp funk that is extremely pleasant. This is all confusing to me, but I adore it. I just wish it projected more and lasted longer.

Well this is just lovely. I get a bright burst of fresh rose and a bit of spice from the pink pepper at first, and then this quickly settles down to a slightly sweet, musky skin scent with a hint of that bright opening still lingering. This one's a mood booster and could be worn anywhere, I think. I can't stop sniffing my arm. :)

Sheep's Clothing is a pleasant and lovely fragrance. Very similar to glossieryou but a tad bit more complex. An easy and non offensive skin scent of gentle rose, musk, pink peppercorn and yes it has a wool smell. I really love it.

Not sure why this isn’t talked about more, but this is by far the best of HR— I get compliments all the time. Easy to wear....soft, cozy, peppery, rose. This is a grown up Glossier You.

Goes on with cumin and rose notes and dries down to a clean power. Notes of pencil shavings and... insecticide? I absolutely love it. Wears very close.

Rosy Glossier You is accurate. Pretty, inoffensive. Almost reminds me a little bit of Ledda 22 Orris

I have a soft spot for Henry Rose. This house got me interested in perfume again and started my collection journey. I own 3 full size from this house, Last Light, Dark is Night and Queens and Monsters. That being said I wasn't real interested in sampling Sheeps Clothing because I am not very fond of the name. I know a name shouldn't matter that much when considering a perfume, the scent is most important, but I still wish they had named this perfume differently. But here are my thoughts on what Sheeps Clothing smells like..... This perfume starts off w/ a soft spicy and dry pink pepper, I get a bit sick of pink pepper at times as it is somewhat overused in perfumery but here it is not overdone. As this fragrance travels a bit on skin it becomes a soft vegetal musk mingling w/ rose petals, a very delicate powder orris root and soft woody notes. This is not a sweet perfume; it has a dry but softly spicy and musky quality. This is a rose perfume for people who aren't fond of rose because the musk is the main note. I wish it was stronger, but it would be good in close quarter situations where you can't be heavily perfumed. I bought an 8ml bottle and think that will be fine for now. I will decide after a few more wearing's if I want this in a full size. I do like the vegetal musk smell of this, very natural.

I’m really struggling with this one. While I’m not normally a rose fan, I’m enjoying the subtle qualities of the notes in this one, which is surprising since rose is in both the top and mid notes. The pink pepper at the top was not enjoyable, but it quickly melds and disappears. Then we’re left with a green, fresh, and dirty-like rose. I think the orris might give it a dirty quality. I don’t love it, but I also don’t hate it. I’m getting the amber woods from the base as well, but the orris keeps this scent from being a full bottle purchase. Also, the longevity is disappointing. If this hadn’t been included with a set of samples I purchased from Henry Rose, I wouldn’t have even bothered trying it. That’s bad on me, because it’s another occurrence where I’ve been proven wrong when it comes to fresh, green, rose fragrances. I like it, but the orris keeps me from loving it.

the opening of this smells insane, like spicy mothballs? maybe even some citrus? but on dry down it’s a nice, smooth floraly musk. i see the resemblance to glossier you but there is some much more peculiar notes in here. i know the brand is built on clean ingredients so not sure if this would “spoil” more than others over time? i’ve only had it for a few hours, will report back on performance and how it settles. UPDATE: I don't know if my bottle is very macerated or what...but mine smells much stronger than other reviews describe and this perfume LASTS. I put it on in the morning, went on a 3 hour hike, put sunscreen over it several times and I could still fully smell it at the end of the day. Sits close to the skin but the longevity is amazing. I like layering sweeter fragrances over it to mellow it out. If you see this it Marshalls pick it up, the quality is amazing.

Picked this up at TJMax for $20. For that good of a deal I figured I’d give it a try since I love skin scents. I do see the comparison to glossier you but this is a bit stronger but still intimate in projection. Without knowing the notes I picked up on the pink pepper, ambrette, and orris. I didn’t pick up on rose but I think it helps soften it a bit. The dry down is musky and a bit powdery at least on me. It’ll definitely be a good laying perfume or something for work. After getting it on my skin though i definitely got why they call it sheep’s clothing - I caught the soft fresh wool scent. It’s definitely a beautiful clean almost wool/paper scent. I can see why some could make the conclusion of hamster cage with those two scent profiles if you aren’t a fan of that profile. Rest assured it’s not a dirty cage but a clean one 😂
