The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016, Rose Absolute Oil by Clive Christian is a floral fragrance that embodies the brand's tradition of luxury and refinement. The composition opens with fresh spicy notes from coriander and tangerine, which blend seamlessly into a heart of May Rose and orchid. This floral core is complemented by lily-of-the-valley, adding an unexpected layer of sweetness and freshness. The base notes of cedar, patchouli, and amber create a warm and enveloping finish that contrasts with the vibrant top notes.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for maximum impact. The fresh spicy top notes dissipate quickly, so it’s best to layer with a light mist on your wrists and neck. The floral heart will bloom after about an hour, making it perfect for daytime wear when you want a subtle yet luxurious scent.
