The New Rose
Four fruit notes in the top and none of them overwhelm the Bulgarian rose, which is Pierre Montale's quiet achievement here. Raspberry and black currant give the opening a dark-fruit richness, peach adding a softer sweetness before lemon cuts through and clears the stage for the rose heart. Ylang-ylang beside the rose adds a creamy, slightly tropical register that keeps the composition from reading as purely classical. Lily of the valley threads through the mid-stage with freshness, and the sandalwood-vanilla base gives the drydown a warmth that holds the rose in memory for hours.
Why We Carry This
The New Rose is a rose composition that earns its fruit notes. Rather than softening the Bulgarian rose with sweetness, the raspberry-black currant opening deepens it, and the ylang-ylang heart gives the fragrance a dimension that classic rose soliflores rarely achieve. Well-constructed for a house that does dozens of rose interpretations.
