The embodiment of the confidential nature of the Centifolia Rose (also known as the May or cabbage rose), ROSE MILLESIMÉE is an olfactory metaphor for a moment frozen in time, the reflection of a story, a region and a tradition of craftsmanship. In homage to the Centifolia Rose, this absolute hangs back yet asserts its exceptional character. In Vanina Muracciole’s interpretation of the Rose Centifolia, attention to detail meets a quest for the sublime.
“ For years now, I’ve wanted to reproduce the Centifolia rose without artifice, without a dominant synthetic environment that would make the note consensual. It was about conserving the flower’s natural properties and suggesting comfort.”
To the Grasse region’s native blossom, Vanina Muracciole has added a dash of spices, candied apples, essence of Bulgarian rose and white musc to create a “powerful and carnal soliflore.”
The fruit of nature’s whims and unrivaled, nuanced soil, it tinges each vintage with its signature and patina.
Inspiration from Kilian Hennessy: A gourmet pleasure reserved for adults, the iconic Love, don’t be shy is taken to its EXTREME with an overdose of Bulgarian rose.
The Scent: From the olfactory family of Narcotic Flowers, Love, don’t be shy – EXTREME is such an addicting pleasure that sensitive souls are urged to refrain. A variation that underlines the original version, Love, don’t be shy, with a sublime crystallized floral aspect. Orange blossom and rose overdose make up a luminous elixir that no gourmet can resist. Its rose petals are hand-picked at dawn to capture the scent in all its intensity – an artisan detail that reaches the subconscious.
The Love, don’t be shy EXTREME fragrance is part of the KILIAN PARIS Narcotic Flowers family of fragrances.
Great care is taken in each KILIAN PARIS perfume bottle, to make them real precious objects. The white and gold perfume bottles of the narcotic flower family are adorned with a white lacquer and meticulously engraved on each side, with a motif interweaving door, snake, vine and apple – the symbols of original sin – allusion to fate. As Kilian Hennessy points out: “In perfumery, it is as much about seduction as it is about protection”. A golden metal plate on which is hand-engraved the name of the perfume brings an additional touch of sophistication.
The burning sun and the blinding light of Tuscany add to the charm of the cypress-lined terraces. The hottest hour of the day is the best time to sink into the soft shade of the lemon trees and reread a few passages from Memoirs of Hadrian.
Just a few minutes before heading out to embrace the night. She takes out her favorite powder and caresses her face with light strokes of the brush. She ties a satin scarf around her neck, her bare skin imbued with the scent of makeup. A powdery cloud as elegant as her lipstick with a soft and creamy cosmetic scent that highlights her colorful personality. In just a few moments, all eyes will be on her.
Soft & comfortable notes of face powders.
Sweet, sensual, seductive notes of lipstick.
Annick Goutal composed a “tailor-made” perfume for her daughter Camille, then aged 20. To capture the magic of this wonderful age, she imagined a caress of rose and pear in a cocoon of vanilla and musks.

RUBIKONA was made by Cécile Zarokian in Paris. The creation of this perfume started with the word RUBIKONA that combines the deep and warm colour red of a RUBY with the timeless beauty of an ICON.
RU BI KO NA … Four distinct sounds that together form their own small symphony. Much like a perfectly cut RUBY that fascinates by the various shades of red and intensities of light. Puredistance Rubikona is a deep, warming perfume with a gracious, warm heart – safely embedded in deep blue satin. Elegance in every vein, in line with the sophisticated character of Puredistance. Rubikona is ‘Chic Inside Out’.
Just as the OUD satin mood eau de parfum evokes the sensual movements of satin, this Extrait de parfum variation accentuates the fabric’s Oriental reflections.
