Rose

The Rose at the heart of this fragrance bears Paul Smith’s name. It was cultivated and given as a gift from Paul’s wife for his birthday. This proved to be an inspiration for a fragrance.

The Paul Smith Rose is a potently fragrant, cochineal pink bloom, with a tight peony centre and full outer centre. It was first presented in 2006 at the Chelsea Flower Show.

No blooms are harvested, crushed and distilled – instead the living flower is isolated in a glass bell and equipment "inhales" the scent. The rose’s scent has been blended with Turkish rose oil and green tea with a sparkling halo of violet and magnolia flowers. A woody accord, with touches of cedar, provides depth and structure, which along with soft husks, give it an addictive quality.

A rose by any other name might be something you expect... Rose by Paul Smith is something altogether different. Fresh and individual, modern and memorable.
