Rose Des Vents
The current trend for rose perfumes is to created something with depth and complexity. Here is the exact opposite: an extraordinary rose that is lighter and less tortured than most. “My question was, how can we put fresh flowers in a bottle?” says Cavallier-Belletrud. The answer is a trio of roses, and a cutting-edge carbon dioxide extraction technique (much like Nicolas Ghesquiere, Cavallier-Belletrud is a perfumer who embraces the possibilities afforded by technology), which means “it is the first time in the world we have been technically able to extract fresh flowers.” Luminous and lovely, this is rose scent minus the last 200 years of baggage.
