Rose Nacrée du Désert
Guerlain L'Art et la Matière · Eau de Parfum (EDP) · 2012
≈ $340 · 125ml · approx. retail
A rich rose given a mysterious oriental air through saffron, cardamom and a whisper of oud, set on resinous benzoin and smoky myrrh. Warm, spicy and opulent, it is Guerlain's take on the classic rose-oud pairing.
