À la rose pays tribute to femininity, like a declaration of love set to fragrance. It brings together two exceptional roses: the house states that each bottle holds the equivalent of two hundred and fifty centifolia roses and one hundred and fifty Damask roses.
Damask rose lights up the opening with nuances of pear and lychee, centifolia forms a floral backdrop with honeyed accents, between violet, sweet pea and musks. A musky floral, by turns subtle and exuberant.

À la rose in detail
À la rose gives its name to a collection by Maison Francis Kurkdjian devoted to the contemporary rose, to be worn by women and men alike. The fragrance presents itself as a declaration of love in two roses: a light, fresh, luminous floral, far from the heavy, powdery roses of the past.
The house lists its notes without sorting them into stages. Two roses answer each other: Damask rose, rich and slightly fruity, and centifolia rose, fresher and more honeyed. Violet adds a powdery touch, sweet pea an airy, almost watery floral note. Musk ties everything together and gives it a clean softness.
À la rose is worn by day, in spring and summer: a lunch, a walk, a bright working day.
Three florals in our catalogue come close: Blanche by Byredo and Danger Pour Femme by Roja Parfums both share centifolia rose, violet and musk, the first in a very clean register, the second more opulent; Delina by Parfums de Marly brings together Damask rose and musk in a fruitier rose.
