A sumptuous, woody interpretation of the rose

Capacity : 100 ML

The fragrance artist’s touch

Rose

Hand-picked in Turkey and Italy, the Damascena rose characterises the trail of Rose Barbare. It plays here in excess, as an essence with fruity notes of lychee and raspberry and as an absolute with mellower honeyed facets.

It takes four to five tons of Damascena rose petals to obtain a litre of its essence.

Cherished material used in the Guerlinade, the “Queen of Flowers” asserts herself in legendary compositions such as Nahéma and La Petite Robe Noire.

In the Perfumer’s words

“The rose forms a cherished part of our Guerlinade. Rose Barbare celebrates the flower for what it is: beautiful, rebellious, almost wild.”
Thierry Wasser,
Guerlain Master Perfumer
