Rose Me Twice Eau de Parfum - Laboratorio Olfattivo
Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose.
— Gertrude Stein, Sacred Emily, 1913.
Nose: Jean-Claude Ellena
With over 40,000 varieties, the rose is the flower whose fragrance has been the most analyzed by perfumers; a universe in which it is easy to get lost among the infinite nuances it develops, especially since 1867, when the hybridizer Jean-Baptiste Guillot created the rose ‘La France’, the first tea hybrid.
By introducing this variety, Guillot presented not only a new flower, but an olfactory imprint that would mark perfumery forever. Today, whenever I perceive a note of tea in a rose, I immediately recognize its lineage from that historic hybridization. The secret of this aroma lies in a specific molecule: the ionone. It is used to recreate the scent of violet but also the smell of tea, of which it is an odorous component.
