Les Parfums de Rosine Une Folie de Rose is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2004, created by François Robert. Une Folie de Rose opens with Bergamot and Coriander, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Les Parfums de Rosine's Une Folie de Rose carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a serious, old-school rose chypre, polarising for its sharp, unsweetened edge. Love it if you're after a confident, 'grown-up' rose; steer clear if you prefer modern, jammy florals. It's a statement, not a whisper.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage make it better suited for evenings or formal events where it can make a statement without overwhelming. The sophisticated, somewhat 'distant' character of the rose chypre notes lends itself well to formal and date settings, less so for casual or athletic wear.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Une Folie de Rose opens with a crisp, earthy blend of bergamot and coriander, immediately setting a sophisticated tone. The heart unfurls into a complex rose, deeply floral and slightly austere, supported by the creamy richness of ylang-ylang and delicate iris. This isn't a sweet, youthful rose, but rather a mature, structured bloom. The dry down is a classic chypre-lover's dream: earthy patchouli and vetiver combine with the damp, green depth of oakmoss, rounded out by a hint of warm benzoin, creating a lasting, aromatic trail.
