Jean-Claude Ellena's Rose Poivree by The Different Company was launched in 2000 as a Floral fragrance for both women and men. The composition is built around the tension between rose and spices, with coriander and black pepper providing an aromatic contrast to the soft floral heart. Vetiver adds a grounding earthiness, while civet introduces an animalic undertone that enriches the overall complexity. This blend of notes creates a fragrance that is both fresh and warm, making it versatile for various occasions.

Application Tips
For best results, apply Rose Poivree to pulse points and let it develop on your skin for about an hour before reapplying if needed. The spicy notes fade quickly but leave a warm, musky trail that lasts throughout the day.
Jean-Claude Ellena
Founding perfumer · 104 fragrances · French
As a disciple and close friend of the legendary Edmond Roudnitska (creator of “Le Parfum de Thérèse”), Jean-Claude Ellena began his career with a minimalistic approach to perfumery. Since then, he has developed this approach into his own distinctive style, which is continually informed by his elegant and quiet way of being, and has been compared by his contemporaries to watercolor sketches and chamber music. Jean-Claude says that a perfume must be like “a soft caress; nothing must shock, nothing must shout”.Jean-Claude Ellena was born in Grasse into a family of perfumers. His training began at age 17, in the most prestigious laboratories – in Grasse, Paris, New York and Geneva – where he always saw himself as self-taught. Roudnitska’s minimalism never left him, however, and his compositions remain focused around a single ingredient, avoiding repetition.
