D'Orsay Une Rose au paradis RB EDP
Description
Une rose au paradis. R.B. imagines love as a meeting point between humanity and artificial intelligence, an unusually futurist brief for a house built on 19th-century love letters. Perfumer Caroline Dumur answers it with Turkish rose wrapped in cashmeran and freesia, sitting on a musk-sandalwood-incense base. Fans of rose-forward niche scents like Frederic Malle’s Portrait of a Lady will recognize the ambition, though this one leans powdery and futuristic rather than jammy and spiced.
Scent Character
- Woody: 32%
- Floral (Turkish rose, freesia): 25%
- Fresh (aldehydes, pink pepper): 12%
- Incense & Musk: 13%
- Spicy: 12%
- Sweet: 6%
Translation: a floral-woody-musk composition, rose and freesia softened by cashmeran, then grounded in sandalwood, musk and a trace of incense rather than a classic oud base.
