Built around a Rose Centifolia absolute from roses organically grown on Aurélien Guichard's own Grasse farm, this is a dark, radiant rose sharpened by saffron and grounded in patchouli. Fragrantica classifies it a Floral fragrance, and the house frames it as the fullest possible expression of a single rose harvest.
