THE FLORAL, WOODY POWER OF THE GUERLAIN ROSE, IN ITS ULTIMATE CONCENTRATION

Rose Centifolia Extrait 1 reveals the rose in its most perfect olfactory expression at Guerlain, unveiling a truly powerful signature from within. Overflowing with precious Grasse absolute, the rose’s power of attraction transcends beyond its extraordinary florality, in an ultimate concentration of 30%.

The Guerlain Perfumers have shone a light on the intensity of the queen of flowers, exalting the spiced and honeyed facets inherent to rose absolute, while heightening them with plumes of frankincense and intense patchouli.

Rose Centifolia Extrait 1 is part of the Les Extraits Signature collection of extracts, which embody the quintessence of the Guerlain scent trail. This collection pays homage to the alchemy of the Maison’s iconic signature, Guerlinade, by highlighting the six raw materials within it and revealing the golden number of each one.

EXTRAIT 1 FOR 1 DAY

1 is the golden number of the Guerlain rose. Since day 1, Guerlain has been sourcing Centifolia roses* – also known as May roses – in Grasse, France. For 1 month each year, its petals are harvested in a daily race against the clock to conserve their marvellous fragrance, which calls for a maximum of 1 day between picking the blossoms at daybreak and transforming them into an absolute.
