The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2017, Rose Royale by Nicolai Parfumeur Créateur is a floral fragrance that showcases Patricia de Nicolai's talent for blending rich and nuanced accords. The composition opens with the vibrant brightness of bergamot and passionfruit, soon giving way to a heart of rose and ambrette, which adds a soft musky warmth. The base notes of guaiac wood and sandalwood provide a grounding earthiness that keeps the fragrance from becoming overly sweet. This is a scent designed for those who appreciate the depth and complexity hidden within traditional florals.

How to wear it

Apply Rose Royale lightly — its rich notes unfold gradually over time. The bergamot and passionfruit top notes are fleeting, so give it about an hour for the heart and base to fully meld. It’s best worn during cooler weather when the warmth of sandalwood feels most comforting.
