Eau Suave EDP 50 ml

A fruity rose chypre inspired by a rose garden

 

This modern chypre reveals little-know facets of the most iconic flower of perfumery, the rose. The rich and opulent EAU SUAVE develops striking notes of spicy, fruity and tea roses, rounded out with musk and patchouli.

EAU SUAVE, a charmingly piquant rose cocktail.

 

It was from a visit to the Château of la Malmaison that Marc-Antoine Corticchiato drew the inspiration for his EAU SUAVE. There, he found out that the Empress Josephine, a keen amateur botanist, had grown a remarkable collection of roses in her hothouses, including three varieties developed specifically for her: the Rose Joséphine, the Rose Pourpre and the Rose de Vénus.

 

EAU SUAVE is a tribute to this collection, no longer extant, and to the most iconic flower of perfumery, a symbol of femininity that is also highly-prized by men in the Middle-East.

 

Particularly incisive varieties were selected for this modern yet timeless fragrance, which reveals unusual facets of the flower. Fruity roses bring surprising peach, raspberry and apricot accents. The sensuous notes of spicy roses develop coriander, saffron and pepper facets. Finally, tea rose notes add a touch of lightness.

 

These velvety petals rest on a chypre base: oakmoss and patchouli for their woody depth, Bourbon vanilla for its exotic touch and plush white musk for its caress…
