Rose
Caron Rose is a layered rose study rather than a soliflore — Bulgarian and May rose stacked over each other in the opening, with neroli throwing a lit, slightly green facet across the petals.

By the editors · 2 min readCaron Rose is a layered rose study rather than a soliflore — Bulgarian and May rose stacked over each other in the opening, with neroli throwing a lit, slightly green facet across the petals.
The heart pulls toward an unusual mid-century twist: a cool mint flicker and a damp vetiver, both threaded around iris. The mint is restrained, more breath than candy; the iris keeps the rose from going jammy or candied.
The drydown is the recognizable Caron signature — sandalwood with a shadow of vanilla and musk, soft and powdered without going pastel. Worn now, it reads as a structured floral with a vintage spine: closer to a bespoke parfumerie rose than to anything currently on a department-store shelf.
