Stella McCartney Stella Rose Absolute is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2005. Stella Rose Absolute settles into a heart of Amber, Lemon, Rose, and Peony. Stella McCartney's Stella Rose Absolute carries an Acquired verdict, a rose-led wear.

A legendary rose, tragically discontinued yet eternally adored. Rose Absolute is the opulent, deeper sister to the original Stella, a rich, jammy rose wrapped in amber. Utterly gorgeous and a must-have for any rose lover, if you can find it.

About

This isn't a shy, dewy rose; it’s a full-bodied, almost syrupy rose petal explosion. It opens with a flash of clean lemon before the prominent rose and peony unfurl, blooming into a velvety floral heart. A deep, resinous amber anchors the composition, adding warmth and a sensual, slightly dark richness that amplifies the rose without overwhelming it, creating a truly 'absolute' experience.
