Perfumer: Mathieu Nardin
"My grandparents, producers of Rose de Mai in Grasse, were passionate about this flower with its fresh and intoxicating scent. As a child, I would get up at dawn during the harvest season to help them pick them. Feminine and sensual, the Rose is the emblem of femininity. It is this fusion between the freshness of the Rose and its suave trail that is transcribed in Bergamote & Rose. Bergamot brings this sparkling facet while the Rose de Mai reveals all the voluptuousness of its essence."
