The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2008 by Nicolai Parfumeur Créateur, Rose Intense is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women created by Patricia de Nicolai. This composition marries the intensity of rose with a rich blend of powdery and musky notes, creating an enveloping warmth that feels both familiar and luxurious. The initial burst of blackberry and raspberry gives way to a heart of rose oil and violet, before settling into a base of sandalwood, cedar, and amber. It is a fragrance where the sweetness of fruit meets the depth of wood, all anchored by the lasting elegance of rose.

How to wear it

Apply a generous amount directly on pulse points for maximum impact. The top notes are fleeting, but the rose and woody base notes will linger throughout the day, making it perfect for both daytime warmth and evening sophistication.
