PG26 Isparta by Pierre Guillaume

Isparta roses, a particular variety in perfumery coming from Turkey. These roses have a rich sweet character and in PG26 Isparta, the perfumer chose to mix their intoxicating aroma with oud, Peru balsam and a pinch of ambery patchouli. This way the perfume is so luxuriously dense and saturated you can almost wade through its dark rosy glory.

Rose de Mai, Jean-Claude Ellena for Perris

Rose de Mai (aka rosa centifolia 'the rose of hundred petals'), the French Grasse speciality with a rich creamy, slightly metallic character. This variety in only grown in one area in France. Can it get any more special? Yes, if an iconic perfumer creates a perfume to celebrate the aroma of this majestic rose. Meet Rose de Mai, Jean-Claude Ellena for Perris, made with French rosa centifolia absolute (the finest extract option). Notes: rose de Mai absolute, immortel, rose geranium, musk

Roses in perfumery

So many options - Damask (grown in various locations), French centifolia and so many ways to interpret them. There are rose soliflores (Rose de Taif by Perris and Eau de Protection by ELdO), there are fresh 'rose garden' perfumes (Rosamonda /J.U.S and PG13 Brulure de Rose by PG), there are chypres (MAAI by Bogue) and oriental roses (Coda by Aqualis), there are leathery blends (Bull's Blood by Imaginary Authors)

Notes: blackcurrant leaf, centifolia rose, damask rose, dew, green leaves, hedione

Perris Rose de Taif in an extrait

The rarest of roses in perfumery: rose from the Taif area in Saudi Arabia. These flowers have their own unique aroma and most of the harvest stays in the country. Very few perfume houses ever get their hands on rose de Taif. The EdP option smells less metallic and more "happy rose petals warmed by the sun" (thank you lemon). Whereas Rose de Taif in the extrait concentration is more metallic leathery and heavier on geranium. So hard to chose!

Rose in perfumery

The rose lands: Bulgarian, Moroccan, Grasse, Turkish varieties, sometimes set to shine on their own or dancing in the company of spices, resins, vanilla, tobacco and more.

Wicked John by Strangers

"Mr. Wick broke the rules" (/John Wick 3) and so did this perfume. Roses do not have to belong to sweet lighthearted arrangements. A rose note can be dark, leathery and green on the verge of gun oil kind of drama and intensity. All that's required is the right company, just like in Wicked John, a perfume in which a rose note solemnly sits next to tobacco, orris, hay, a gun powder accord and lavender. Notes: gun powder, leather, Atlas cedar, metallic notes, orris (iris root), tobacco, Damask ros

MAAI by Bogue

An infamous rose like no other (and a rare 5 stars rating from Luca Turin). This formula feels like the rose has petals made of fine leather. Resins are layered with intense flowers and animalic notes roam in the dark corners of this perfume in their fearful symmetry.

Magnetica by Voronoi,

Magnetica by Voronoi, a dark bold rose, myrrh and saffron mix. It's very modern in its casual minimal architecture but very mystically ancient in the choice of materials. Notes: ambergris, rose, oud, saffron, myrrh

La Vie en Rose perfumes

An anthology of beautiful roses, their natural varieties and fantastic roses invented by perfumers to rival those of Nature’s. This edit covers formulas in which Damask, Bulgarian, French centifolia, and Turkish roses play an important part. There are also examples of the use of materials and molecules that sometimes play the rose’s part or amplify it in an interesting way (rose geranium or clever molecules with names such as 2-phenyethyl alcohol for example).
