'What a good year for the roses....many blooms still linger there'
~ Elvis Costello
Feast at the sumptuous banquet of Rose largesse with these exquisite examples of utterly sophisticated modern rose perfumes that are not your grandmother's rose!
Tobacco Rose Eau de Parfum by Papillon Artisan Perfumes is a stunningly different interpretation of the majestic rose! Prepare for a dazzling rebellion with Tobbaco Rose's relentlessly masterful nuances and rebellious proportion. A sensual blend of Bulgarian Rose, geranium and Rose de Mai form an opulent backdrop of velvety rose notes set against a luxuriously rich and smoky base of French Hay and earthy oakmoss. Soft animalic touches of ambergris and beeswax are suspended in a sumptuous blend of musks, creating an alluringly enigmatic and unmistakable perfume.
Nin-Shar Extrait de Parfum by Jul et Mad is a rose with super powers! Nin-Shar is a multi-faceted perfume representation of the entire rose plant from the soft floral petals, green leaves, stems and thorns to the eart it is rooted in. The soft, powdery facets intertwine with strong green and balsamic woody notes to reveal a richly redolent and inky three dimensional rose vividly rendered through Turkish rose absolute, rose liquer, davana essence and incense absolute.
Mohur Eau de Parfum by Neela Vermeire Creations is an opulent, leathery rose-oud symphony of inimitable sophistication that utterly transcends description by mere resort to the individual notes which include iris, benzoin and patchouli. Mohur's densely intertwined fusion of rose and oud is gorgeously redolent of an endlessly beautiful sandalwood and an underlying lightly spiced milkiness that oozes classic refinement and a transcendentally compelling poise that is unrivaled.
Rose Cut Eau de Parfum by Ann Gerard is a consensus building thoroughly modern rose for even the most rose phobic. Rose Cut airily opens the door to this elegant fete like a carbonated blast of cool April air imbued with a hint of pepper that presciently foretells the radiant warmth to come.
Oielliet Bengale Eau de Parfum by Aedes de Venustas has a delicious identity problem....A flower on fire. Oeillet Bengale is a fierece, fiery, feral rose that wants to be carnation, set ablaze by an exotic spice explosion. Red petals turned black by frankincense.
