Rose

A flower with a thousand facets

The olfactory idea

Rose can suggest fresh petals, green stems, honey, fruit or a dark, almost spicy warmth. A convincing rose accord can be transparent or richly textured.

Understanding the craft

Rose oil and rose absolute are different materials produced by different extraction processes. Perfumers can also build rose effects from individual aroma materials. The word rose describes an olfactory idea as well as a botanical source.

Explore it for yourself

Smell a rose fragrance beside a fruity floral. Try to separate petal softness from fruity sweetness and from the green impression around it.
