影片男主角的原型是一位伊朗裔，加拿大籍的记者巴哈里（MaziarBahari）。2009年，巴哈里作为美国《新闻周刊》（Newsweek）驻伊朗记者，报道当年的伊朗总统大选。6月13日，选举委员会宣布艾哈迈迪-内贾德（MahmoudAhmadinejad）获胜后，其竞争对手的支持者上街游行，巴哈里拍下了这场被称为“伊朗绿色革命”的抗议活动。6月21日，他从德黑兰的家中被带走，经历118天的监禁后获释。其后巴哈里将自己的这段经历写成回忆录《ThenTheyCameforMe》，于2011年出版。在书中，他描述自己遭到折磨和审讯，对方视他为潜入伊朗的间谍。由于双眼被蒙住，看不清提审人的面容，只闻到他身上的玫瑰香水味，巴哈里在书中就以“玫瑰香水”（Rosewater）称呼对方，影片的片名也是由此而来。
