Parfums Caron Rose is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1949, created by Michel Morsetti. Rose opens with Neroli, Rose, Grasse Rose Absolute, and Aloe Vera, settles into a heart of Vetiver, Geranium, and Mint, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Iris, and Vanilla. Parfums Caron's Rose carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This isn't just another rose; Caron's Rose is a complex, almost paradoxical bloom. It's a classic that manages to feel completely fresh, a rich floral with surprising green edges. A must-try for rose lovers seeking depth beyond the usual. Many say it's discontinued or hard to find, but worth the hunt.

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.

About

Caron Rose opens with a bright, almost dewy freshness, where a trio of roses - including a rich Grasse rose absolute - is lifted by a zesty neroli and an unexpected, watery aloe vera. The heart introduces an intriguing greenness with vetiver and geranium, alongside a subtle hint of mint, preventing the rose from becoming overly sweet. It eventually settles into a soft, powdery base of iris, warm sandalwood, and a comforting vanilla, all underpinned by a clean musk, allowing the rose to linger gracefully.
