The Story
Rose de Mai in perfumery.
Rose de Mai hails from the Grasse region of France, known for its lush gardens where these roses bloom. This variety is distinguished by its light, almost citrusy aroma with subtle green undertones, setting it apart from other rose types that tend to be sweeter or more floral.
In compositions, Rose de Mai often occupies a middle note position, providing a fresh and uplifting heart that complements the richness of base notes. It pairs particularly well with musk, jasmine, patchouli, bergamot, vanilla, and sandalwood, creating harmonious blends that are both powdery and woody.
To experience Rose de Mai today, one might turn to Versace Pour Homme by Versace or Elysium Pour Homme Eau Intense by Roja Dove. These fragrances showcase the versatility of this rose, blending its freshness with a range of other notes to create complex and engaging scents.
