Paestum Rose

by Bertrand Duchaufour

Eau d'Italie Paestum Rose is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. Paestum Rose opens with Pepper, Artemisia, Coriander, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Osmanthus, Rose, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Papyrus, Woody, Opoponax, and Myrrh. Eau d'Italie's Paestum Rose carries a Statement verdict, a amber-led wear.

A truly divisive ghost of a perfume. Paestum Rose is a dramatic, ancient rose swathed in smoke and spice, with all the gothic grandeur Duchaufour can muster. Some found it a masterpiece of dark romance, others a cumin-heavy disappointment with fleeting presence.

About

Imagine Turkish rose petals, dark and velvety, crushed with black and pink peppercorns, then left to smoulder on ancient incense embers. This is a dry, almost arid rose, steeped in aromatic coriander and softened by the leathery apricot scent of osmanthus. As it dries, deep woody notes emerge, fused with the balsamic sweetness of opoponax and myrrh, creating a timeless, churchy haze.
