Maître Parfumeur et Gantier Rose Opulente is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1988. Rose Opulente opens with Green Notes and Rose, settles into a heart of Spicy Notes, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. Maître Parfumeur et Gantier's Rose Opulente carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Rose Opulente is a divisive one. It's a proper, full-bodied rose for those who appreciate the queen of flowers in all her dewy, green glory, but some find its intensity a bit much, even metallic. Definitely not for rose minimalists.

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.

With moderate longevity and sillage, it's versatile enough for many settings, though its opulent rose character leans more towards special occasions. The fresh, green opening makes it suitable for daytime, but the rich heart and base give it enough depth for evenings.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

Rose Opulente opens with a blast of green, dewy rose, evoking a fresh garden in bloom with an almost metallic edge. As it settles, warm spicy notes emerge, mingling with the creamy sweetness of jasmine and ylang-ylang, adding a touch of vintage elegance. The base unfolds into a soft, musky embrace of amber and sandalwood, leaving a lingering, natural rose scent that's neither jammy nor powdery.
