Yves Rocher Pur Desir de Rose is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2002, created by Annick Menardo. Yves Rocher's Pur Desir de Rose carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This isn't your grandma's rose; Pur Desir de Rose is a modern, slightly mysterious take on the classic. It's a real shame Yves Rocher axed this one, as many still mourn its absence.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its elegant yet understated character, make it suitable for office and casual wear. The unique spicy rose makes it an interesting choice for dates, but it's generally too subtle for formal events or sports.

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

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

Pur Desir de Rose opens with a refreshing, almost dewy water accord, quickly giving way to a rich, velvety rose at its heart. This isn't a sweet or powdery rose; instead, it's beautifully grounded by an unexpected warmth from the spicy notes, some picking up on clove, pink pepper, or even a hint of sour cherry. It creates a complex, intriguing aroma that's both naturalistic and elegant, with some even detecting a unique 'wicker' note.
