Rose de Mai Absolute – Moroccan Rosa Centifolia

Rose de Mai Absolute from Morocco: pure Rosa centifolia, the legendary "May Rose" treasured by perfumers for generations. Rich, warm and honey-sweet, this is the rose that smells like an armful of fresh blooms.

The scent

Lush, warm and deeply floral, with a distinct honeyed sweetness. It smells like fresh roses at the peak of bloom: soft, full and comforting. Projection is beautiful, and the scent stays with you throughout the day.

The May Rose

Rosa centifolia, also called Cabbage Rose, Provence Rose and Rose Maroc, blooms for just a few weeks each spring. Its petals are gathered by hand at their most fragrant, and it takes a remarkable number of them to make a single bottle of absolute. That rarity is why Rose de Mai has long been one of perfumery's most prized materials.
