Composition & Character
How It Wears
A Signature Fragrance
Bulgarian Rose
Bulgarian Rose is synonymous with the lush, velvety scent that blossoms in the fertile valleys of Bulgaria. Its aroma is both delicate and powerful, a complex blend of sweet floral notes with hints of honey and a subtle green undertone, making it one of the most sought-after rose essences in perfumery.
Rose de Mai
Rose de Mai hails from the Grasse region of France, known for its lush gardens where these roses bloom. This variety is distinguished by its light, almost citrusy aroma with subtle green undertones, setting it apart from other rose types that tend to be sweeter or more floral.
Ambergris
Derived from the digestive system of sperm whales, ambergris has long been prized for its rich, musky aroma with hints of sweetness and a marine freshness. This distinctive material is often described as having a deep, leathery scent with an underlying current of saltwater and a subtle sweetness that makes it both intriguing and complex.
