Perfumer Céline Perdriel highlights two exceptional varieties of rose: Damascena rose from Turkey, known for its floral, fruity, and spicy notes, and Centifolia rose from Grasse, which offers round, warm, and honeyed facets.

In Rose Ardoise, she plays on contrasts—combining femininity and masculinity, transparency and texture, minerality and sensuality.

The fragrance opens with fresh, spicy notes of schinus molle and nutmeg, reflecting the clear, crystalline vibration of sage. The rose then fully expresses itself before gradually blending into an overdose of ambroxan, resulting in a unique composition that asserts its androgynous and contemporary character.

"An interpretation of an urban and contemporary rose blooming from a concrete ground. A fragrance that blurs the lines between feminine and masculine." — Véronique Le Bihan, founder of Atelier Materi

Notes: nutmeg, schinus molle, rose, sage, vetiver, leather, ambroxan
