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.

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it versatile enough for most settings. The sophisticated rose and patchouli blend leans it more towards evening and formal events, though its fresh opening prevents it from being too heavy for casual wear.

About

Rosa Novella opens with a zesty burst of lemon and petitgrain, quickly paving the way for a rich floral heart. Here, a dewy Grasse rose absolute entwines with jasmine and gardenia, creating a lush, slightly waxy bouquet. As it settles, a prominent, earthy patchouli emerges, grounded by creamy sandalwood, cedar, and a subtle musk, giving it a sophisticated, almost chypre-like depth.
