The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Pierre Montale launched The New Rose in 2016 as a Floral Fruity fragrance that pushes the boundaries of its genre. At its heart is Bulgarian rose, but this composition doesn't rely solely on the classic floral note. Instead, it balances the rich, sweet aroma with fruity and citrusy accords like lemon, raspberry, and peach. The result is a scent that feels both familiar and fresh, as if you've encountered a well-loved flower in an unexpected context — perhaps at a bustling city market rather than a quiet garden.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance in light layers — it blooms gradually over time. The fruity top notes are bright but fleeting, making way for a deeper floral heart that lasts through the day. It's best suited for daytime wear when you want something fresh and uplifting.
