« Far from a romantic rose, I wanted a sculpted, textured rose, deepened by the nobility of oud. »

— Carole Geraci

The inspiration

An exceptional garden amid ancient woods. In the soft morning light, roses, peonies and wild violets bloom in silence.

The composition

The olfactory
pyramid.

Three layers, read in the order the skin reveals them. Here the rose is held by oud: peony and plum open it with freshness, violet accompanies it at the heart, leather and dry woods give it depth.

The key innovation

Why a water base
changes the sillage for the better.

Here, the accord is encapsulated in plant-derived spheres carried by a water-based formula. It no longer evaporates: it is released.

8 hlasting power measured after a single application · independent study

  1. A water-based formula

    The accord is no longer dissolved in a solvent: it is carried by a phase that is neutral for the skin.

  2. Plant-derived spheres

    The fragrance is enclosed in plant-derived microspheres that slowly burst under the warmth of the skin and within the fibres of clothing.

  3. Lasting power that unfolds

    The sillage lasts because it is released gradually: a gentle lift-off, then an accord that stays close to the skin.

  4. Free from phototoxic molecules

    No restrictions related to sun exposure.

Skin or clothing?

Both, and that is intentional: fabric extends the experience even further, while a veil on the skin lets the accord unfold more intimately.

The step

The wide V,
from one shoulder to the other.

An alcohol-free Eau de parfum is sprayed generously: the pulse points of the upper body diffuse it together. It was designed for both skin and clothing.

  1. On clean, warm skin

    After a bath or shower, on clean, still-warm skin: a moment for yourself, as the accord settles and begins to unfold.

  2. Trace the V

    Spray generously from one shoulder to the other, across the décolleté.

  3. And on clothing

    That is where it lasts longest: the study notes particularly optimal persistence on fabric, while a veil on the skin lets the accord evolve more intimately.

A few pointers

The questions
we are asked.

Need personal advice?
Write to the Maison

Does an alcohol-free fragrance last as long?
Yes, but differently. Alcohol projects strongly, then evaporates; the plant-derived spheres release the accord gradually on contact with the skin. The opening is softer, the sillage longer and closer to the body. An independent efficacy study found the scent lasting up to 8 hours after a single application, with particularly optimal staying power on fabric.
Is it suitable for all skin types?
It is suitable for all skin types. If your skin is very reactive, test it on the inside of your elbow.
Can it be worn in the sun?
Yes. Reliance compositions are designed without phototoxic molecules: wearing the perfume on your skin involves no restrictions related to sun exposure.
Is it a feminine or masculine perfume?
Unisex, like all six of the house’s accords. Rose des Charmes wears differently from one skin to another: the rose and peony take on more freshness on some, the oud and leather more depth on others.
Why 93% of natural origin and not 100%?
Some materials (gourmand notes, musks) require synthetic molecules to be stable and safe. Across the six accords, the rate ranges from 93 to 96%. The rest of the formula is an alcohol-free, water-based base.
Should I wear the body care in the same accord?
It isn’t essential, but that is where the collection comes into its own. The four body textures carry the same accord; the perfume applied on top gains depth and staying power.
How can I make the sillage last?
Spray it on your clothes too: fabric is where it lasts longest. Layered over the body milk or oil of the same accord, it gains even more depth.
