Amnesia Rose

AMNESIA ROSE is a sparkling, intensely spicy floral that pierces voluminous curves to reveal itself on the skin. It's a liquid that smells like it's been soaked in saffron, with petals edged with patchouli, a palette that shifts from the freshest rose to the most vintage, like blowing the dust off a good vintage red wine.

At the first sniff, he captures the moment that chases the twilight of a languid autumn evening, and the draft of a half-open door lets in a bouquet that breaks the stagnant air. A rose that is not a deep red or pale pink, but a soft pastel purple that almost seems gray. The edges of its petals are just beginning to curl, opening to a fullness that mimics the shape of the bulb, like a cup of tea filled with opulent spices and precious woods.

The composition is inspired by the lifestyle of AEDES PERFUMERY, the place on New York's Lower East Side where eye-catching decorations spill out of large vases alongside vintage fabrics and stuffed and feathered figures. There's always incense in the air, and a scented card is always there. The name comes from a variety of rose grown in France: its delicate scent and appearance evoke a bygone era, later translated into AMNESIA ROSE.

Perfumer Luca Maffei worked for eight years to transmute the essence of perfumery into a bottle, gradually balancing those mysterious, peppery tones, confident of creating something that would work on everyone's skin: "This is an intense rose, whose personality never fades and, above all, never goes unnoticed," says Maffei. To create a bloom supported by woody spices, he combined Moroccan rose absolute and Bulgarian rose essence with Cypriol oil, saffron, and the Bushman's Candle plant (Monsonia Patersonii). The initial sparkling sparkle of AMNESIA ROSE at the opening, due to pink pepper, is quickly replaced by a satiny density that flows through it and transforms into a dry, earthy base softened by labdanum, patchouli, and oud.
