Warm notes of sandalwood and a green and fizzy freshness announce its presence. Then it awakens - the rose with a hundred petals on its spicy bush: initially delicate, but then with confidence and a radiant presence. Rosa Centifolia reveals its body with lasciviousness, stretches towards the light and life with its fresh buds. Shines, blooms, and dominates. It's the rose that has come to conquer and stay. Freely interpreting Gertrude Stein: A rose is a rose is an icon.

Like all the rebirths of J.F. Schwarzlose perfumes, the character of this latest creation challenges the usual olfactory expectations. Rosa Centifolia is deeply rooted in its history as the most legendary creation of the Berlin perfume house. Its reinvention surprises with a completely new perception of the rose and brings the theme of the rose into a world without gender boundaries. This new Rosa Centifolia opens with freshness above the warmth of woods and spices and carries a message: Expect the unexpected!

The iconic Rosa Centifolia – often called ‘Rosa de Mai’ – pulses in the heart of some of the world's most prestigious perfumes. Its flowers are always harvested in the freshness of the morning, allowing hundreds of aromatic molecules to contribute to the extraordinarily rich olfactory profile of Rosa Centifolia. Elegant pastel shades with a citrus note and a light peppery effect bring structure and volume. In the tenth creation of J.F. Schwarzlose since its rebirth, the Rose Centifolia Absolute develops a transparent and fresh note with an earthy and sensual intensity that is anything but volatile.
