Essence No. 1 Rose

by Francis Kurkdjian

Elie Saab Essence No. 1 Rose is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Francis Kurkdjian. Essence No. 1 Rose settles into a heart of Rose. Elie Saab's Essence No. 1 Rose carries a Favourite verdict, a rose-led wear.

This isn't just another rose scent; it's a Francis Kurkdjian masterpiece. Expect a creamy, multifaceted rose with gourmand touches, from Turkish delight to candied lemons. It's a divisive one, though, with some finding it too sweet or even musky. Not a safe blind buy, but a must-try for rose lovers.

About

Essence No. 1 Rose unfolds with a luxurious, multifaceted rose, evoking a sense of a full-blown rose garden. There's a delicate interplay of sweet and powdery elements, reminiscent of Turkish delight or candied rose petals. Underlying the floral heart, a subtle warmth emerges, with hints of vanilla and an almost boozy, jammy depth that stops just short of cloying.
