Natasha Gregson Wagner recently added a new fragrance, La Rose, to the line inspired by her late mother, Natalie Wood. Based on the roses her mom kept in their garden, the realistic scent smells freshly picked thanks to a mix of rose essence, geranium, and heliotrope. The Cut spoke with Wagner about the smell of dog paws, hamburgers, and oil on canvas.
