Launched in 1996 by L'Artisan Parfumeur, Drôle de Rose is a Floral fragrance for both women and men crafted by perfumer Olivia Giacobetti. This composition balances the classic powdery notes with a fresh, unexpected twist, combining star anise and African orange flower to create a vibrant opening. As it settles, rose and iris take center stage, enveloped in a warmth that’s both familiar and distinctive. The result is a fragrance that feels like a modern reimagining of traditional floral scents.

Application Tips
This parfum concentration means it will stay close to your skin, so a light spritz is recommended. The star anise and orange flower open quickly but dissipate within an hour, leaving the rose and iris base to linger throughout the day.

“Echoes of everyday life and nature: fletting emotions, moods, details, attitudes... the many small fragments of life that bear new images.”
Olivia Giacobetti has an uncanny ability to creat an atmosphere. Having completed her training at Robertet, she founded her own perfume laboratory, Iska, and dedicated her career to doing that. She is the brains and the nose behind the fig accords that have been in home scents for years. The perfumes that move her most are "Echoes of everyday life and nature: fletting emotions, moods, details, attitudes... the many small fragments of life that bear new images." Her compostions capture the authenticity of a single moment. They are, other words, odes to transience.
