The story behind the bottle.
La Rose by Rochas was launched in 1949 and is a pioneering work by perfumer Edmond Roudnitska. This fragrance captures the essence of the rose in all its complexity — from the bright, green freshness at its heart to the deep, sweet warmth of its petals. The opening notes of green accords and citrus give way to a lush floral bouquet featuring Bulgarian Rose and Tea Rose, complemented by soft fruity accents like apricot and plum. A base of musk, oakmoss, and sandalwood rounds out the composition with an earthy, sensual finish.
Apply La Rose to pulse points for a subtle yet lasting impression. The citrus and green notes fade within an hour but the heart of rose and base notes will linger throughout the day. Best worn during cooler weather when its warmth can be fully appreciated.
