A rose absolute: freshly picked in the garden as it just blossomed, still pearled with morning dew. Fresh, natural, persisting, with light ginger, vetiver and Atlas cedar notes and a subtle musk accord, it opens up like corolla once combined with the skin, without ever being too dominant.

The Damask Rose Eau Triple is also a time-travelling agent. Complex despite its apparent simplicity, it evokes the fragrance of the ancient rose praised by poet Omar Khayyam, one that has been blossoming for millennia in the Middle East at the end of Spring. According to the legend, knights of the Crusades brought them back from Persia to Europe. A few centuries later, empress Joséphine de Beauharnais, known for her passion for horticulture, created in Malmaison the most magnificent rose garden of her time, where thousands of roses were cultivated. A perfect homage to the most fascinating of flowers.
