Rose 31
Eau de parfum
Grasse rose made virile by cumin, incense and woods.
Rose 31 starts from a flower usually linked with femininity and sensuality, the Grasse rose, and takes it into more masculine territory, without reserving it for anyone. The centifolia rose alternates between softness and strength.
Cumin, incense, cedar and a little amber promptly lend it warmth, spice and wood. In the base, guaiac wood and cistus, underlined by musky notes, set a frank sensuality and a certain mystery.

Rose 31 in detail
Le Labo, a New York house, turned perfume into laboratory work: each name pairs a material with a number, and the bottles are formulated by hand. Rose 31, from the Classic Collection, takes rose in an unexpected direction: a Grasse rose made drier and spicier by cumin, incense and woods.
The house lists its notes without sorting them into stages. Centifolia rose is the starting point, fresh and honeyed. Cumin and incense give it a spicy, smoky relief. Cedarwood and guaiac wood surround it with dry woods, while amber, labdanum and musk form a warm base.
Rose 31 is worn in the evening, in autumn and winter: a dinner, a night out, an evening when you enjoy a rose unlike any other.
Three florals in our catalogue come close: Lyric Woman by Amouage shares musk and incense around a rose; Saint Petal by Born To Stand Out brings together cumin, incense and labdanum around orange blossom; Birth of Venus by Argos pairs amber and labdanum with a fruitier bouquet.
