The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2024 by Rabanne and crafted by Christophe Raynaud, Rose 1969 is a vibrant Oriental Floral fragrance that blends the freshness of Damask rose with spicy and fruity notes. The composition opens with black pepper and lychee, creating an unexpected tension between warmth and brightness. This dynamic interplay leads into a heart of damask rose, which is both classic and modern, enhanced by the earthy depth of patchouli and the warm embrace of amber.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for best effect — the black pepper and lychee notes are fleeting but impactful. The warm base notes will gradually unfold over several hours, making it perfect for an evening out or a day-long wear.

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.”
