EPINE DE ROSE

"I wanted to focus on a rose for men, away from the romantic and delicate femininity that is so often associated with rose-based perfumes. But I am also aware that it is worn by women. I liked the idea that the rose does not exist without its thorns, and that is where all its power lies. That's why I was inspired by this aspect of the flower to reveal something new, at once floral but also woody and spicy". - Alberto Morillas, Perfumer
