The story behind the bottle.
Mémoire de Roses by L'Artisan Parfumeur was launched in 2022 and is the creation of perfumer Christophe Raynaud. This fragrance opens with a bright citrus-aromatic accord of bergamot and mandarin orange, which gives way to a lush heart of rose before settling into a musky base that adds warmth and depth. The composition captures the essence of rose in all its facets — from the fresh and vibrant top notes to the powdery, slightly spicy undertones.
Apply two sprays to pulse points — the citrus top notes are vibrant but fade within an hour, after which the musky base continues to develop. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than across a room.

Christophe Raynaud
Architect first, craftsman secondChristophe Raynaud is a perfumer who describes himself as a craftsman with the sensitivity of an artist. He begins each fragrance with a raw olfactory block, working for hours to shape it as a sculptor would — first as architect, then as craftsman.
“At first, I am the architect, and then I become the craftsman.”
