The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016 by Diptyque and crafted by perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin, Essences Insensées Rose de Mai Eau de Parfum captures the essence of Grasse's exceptional May rose harvest. This unisex fragrance opens with a vibrant burst of fresh citrus and fruity notes before diving into the heart of the composition: a delicate yet heady bouquet of centifolia roses. The scent is further enriched by sweet honey, creating a balance between freshness and warmth that lingers softly on the skin.
Apply two sprays to ensure the full range of notes is present. The citrus top notes are bright but fade quickly, so it’s best applied in the morning or early afternoon for optimal longevity through the day.
