OAK
FRENCH “EMBOISEMENT”Rooted in the revered traditions of fine cognac-making, this unique maceration process, steeps French Oak shavings in the signature essence of the extrait. Carefully sourced, these enhance the composition without overpowering its other facets. Selected for their medium vanilla quality and powerful oaky signature, their tannins are then absorbed, creating a rich, nuanced depth.
INFUSED IN AN EXCLUSIVE ACCORD
Revered as the ‘Rose de Mai”, the flower is hand-picked at dawn during its fleeting May bloom, when its scent is at its strongest. Through a meticulous process, carefully selected French oak wood macerates in the precious Rose Centifolia Absolute for four weeks, deepening the rose’s honeyed sweetness without overpowering its delicate floral heart.
CRISPIER. WOODIER.
MORE HONEYED.
Crafted by Perfumer Quentin Bisch, this highly concentrated extrait distills a green floral signature with sophisticated woody nuances. A crisp vegetal introduction, exalted by balsamic tonalities illuminates the heart: a majestic quartet of roses –featuring the dewy Rose accord from the Ourika Community Gardens –intertwined with sensual ambrette. Angelica seed anchors the composition, unveiling a textured trail of magnifying amber woods.

A BOLD, CRIMSON HUE
The rich, reddish hue of the fragrance radiates through the sculptural bottle of this new Extrait edition. Its vibrant essence echoes both the delicate beauty of the rose and the sharp, impertinent touch of its thorns. A bold, radical shade that mirrors the scent’s depth —captured in a silhouette of defiant grace.
