By the editors · 2 min readRose de Mai is the third of Perris's deliberately-spare Jean-Claude Ellena soliflores, and it lives up to the structural honesty. The opening is a single fresh rose — Grasse-style, jammy and slightly wet rather than syrupy — held in the air for several minutes before any supporting material appears.
Rose geranium then layers in: bright, slightly metallic, sharpening the rose without distorting it. A whisper of immortelle warms the heart, and white musk closes the composition close to the skin. There is no dramatic dry-down; the perfume simply thins. Best in spring and warm afternoons; reads as a real flower more than a perfumed accord.
