ROSE GRANDIFLORA

Rose Grandiflora is a majestic and full-bodied floral note in perfumery that embodies the essence of the grandiflora rose—a hybrid between classic hybrid tea roses and floribundas, known for their large, velvety blossoms and rich fragrance. Its scent is lush, dewy, and intensely floral, combining the honeyed sweetness of a garden rose with hints of fresh greenery, soft spice, and subtle fruitiness. More rounded and radiant than damask rose yet gentler than centifolia, Rose Grandiflora offers a balanced harmony of romantic richness and modern brightness, making it an exquisite heart note for floral and chypre compositions.

History & Production: Cultivated for their beauty and generous bloom, grandiflora roses are descendants of some of the most fragrant rose species. In perfumery, however, their aroma cannot be directly extracted; instead, Rose Grandiflora is an artful accord constructed from natural and synthetic materials such as phenethyl alcohol, citronellol, geraniol, and damascones—key molecules that define the rose’s characteristic sweetness and petal-like texture. This modern reconstruction preserves the grandeur and freshness of the living flower while offering greater stability and radiance in a composition. When paired with jasmine, violet, amber, or musks, Rose Grandiflora reveals its true elegance—a timeless floral signature that feels both classic and contemporary, bold yet tender.
