The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1993 by L'Artisan Parfumeur and crafted by perfumer Michel Almairac, Voleur de Roses is a captivating Oriental Woody fragrance that blends the lush warmth of patchouli with the delicate sweetness of rose. The composition opens with plum and geranium, adding depth to the rich, earthy notes that follow. Patchouli takes center stage, creating an enveloping base that contrasts beautifully with the floral heart of rose and geranium. This interplay between earthiness and florality is what makes Voleur de Roses so distinctive — a scent that feels both grounded and ethereal.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points — the plum and geranium top notes are fleeting but set the stage for the rich patchouli base. This fragrance is best enjoyed close to skin rather than across a room; it blooms slowly over time, revealing its full depth.
