Perris Monte Carlo Rose De Mai is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Jean-Claude Ellena. Rose De Mai opens with Rose, settles into a heart of Immortelle and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Musk. Perris Monte Carlo's Rose De Mai carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a proper wild card. If you're after a true-to-life rose, not some watered-down interpretation, this might be your jam. But brace yourself - the geranium can be a bit shouty, and some find it a touch boring. A love-it-or-hate-it affair, definitely not a safe blind buy.

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.

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

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Opens with a blast of photorealistic May rose, fresh and almost oily, with a distinctive green and sometimes metallic edge. The geranium barges in, bringing a herbal, fresh-spicy kick that some find invigorating, others overwhelming. As it settles, the initial punch eases into a softer rose heart, eventually fading into a gentle, natural musk, leaving a trace of delicate floral sweetness.
