Rose Kabuki by Dior was launched in 2018 and crafted by François Demachy. The fragrance is a delicate rose enveloped in powdery musks, evoking the immaculate faces of traditional Japanese Kabuki theater. The composition begins with a bright aquatic note that adds a modern freshness to the classic floral heart, while the base notes of musk and powder create a soft, cocooning effect. This contrast between the vibrant rose and the enveloping musks makes Rose Kabuki a fragrance that feels both lasting and contemporary.

Application Tips
Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points — the powdery musk base will envelop you in its softness. The aquatic top notes are fleeting, so the fragrance is best enjoyed close to skin rather than from across a room.
