Description
This candle from MATIERE PREMIERE beautifully captures the pure, fresh essence of Centifolia rose, specifically evoking an early May morning harvest in the Grasse region. It aims to distill that luminous, dewy moment when the roses are still on the bushes, exhaling their most tender and natural perfume. The scent is designed to feel fresh, airy, and quietly radiant, transforming any space into a breath of morning in the South of France. Founder and Perfumer Aurélien Guichard's vision was to create candles that truly smell like natural materials, focusing on a specific olfactive moment of the raw ingredient.
