By the editors · 2 min readRose Etoile de Hollande opens not with the rose but with heliotrope — the almond-cherry-powder note that acts here as a warm preface before the central subject arrives. The Bulgarian rose that follows is classic and unflinching: rich, damask, deeply floral without the synthetic brightness of many contemporary rose compositions.
General notes hint at greater depth: peach and bergamot bring fruit and citrus undertones, clove adds a dry spiced warmth, and amber weaves through everything as a background glow. These notes support without dominating — Rose Etoile de Hollande remains a rose fragrance throughout, its supporting cast doing precisely that.
Madagascar vanilla, patchouli, and two cedars compose the base — a combination that gives the rose a dry, slightly earthy landing rather than a sweet one. The cedars in particular keep things cool and structured, preventing the vanillic base from pushing the composition toward saccharine. A niche rose for those who want the flower treated seriously.
