Ode to Rose

Ode to Rose, from the French house Alexandre.J, came out in 2022 and is, as the name suggests, a floral centred on rose, with green and woody shades and a small citrus touch.

May rose and rose bring a fresh, honeyed and velvety petal note, the core of the scent. Geranium adds a green, slightly minty rosiness that makes the flowers feel freshly cut. Violet leaf and violet leaves contribute a cool, leafy greenness, which is where the green accord comes from. Jasmine and ylang-ylang bring warmth and a creamy, slightly exotic sweetness, while orange cassia tree adds a soft, powdery floral note. The base is smooth and grounded: sandalwood gives a creamy woodiness and patchouli an earthy depth that keeps the rose from becoming too sweet.

The profile suggests spring, daytime and elegant occasions, though the woody base also suits cooler evenings. It is meant to be worn by anyone and will appeal to people who love rose in a green, natural style with a quiet, earthy finish.
