Fleur Majesty Rose Royale 31

The house breaks Fleur Majesty Rose Royale 31 down into three stages: mandarin, orange, a juicy pear and a sweet peach at the top; magnolia, white peony, centifolia rose and violet wood at the center; Kayali’s signature accord, vanilla, praline, musk, vetiver and Ambrox Super at the base.

What the perfumer says

Nathalie Lorson describes a floral structure built around the rose, with an appetizing quality that arises from the opening thanks to peach and pear, treated as fruity facets.

The center is, for her, a powdery, textured bouquet of roses. This fruity floral signature rests on the brand’s ambery accord, made of musk, praline and vanilla, which Ambrox and vetiver extend into a warm trail.

What the label declares

Behind the alcohol, fragrance and water, the ingredient list first names Iso E Super, under its name of tetramethyl acetyloctahydronaphthalenes, and a white musk, hexamethylindanopyran, ahead of three ultraviolet filters.

It also names alpha-isomethyl ionone, cinnamyl alcohol, citral, citronellol, coumarin, eugenol, farnesol, geraniol, benzyl alcohol, limonene, linalool, alpha-terpinene and beta-caryophyllene.

The end of the list cites bitter orange peel oil, geranyl acetate, linalyl acetate, geranium oil, pinene, rose oil, rose ketones, terpineol, terpinolene and vanillin.

What the list adds

Rose oil, rose ketones and geranium oil give body to the announced rose, bitter orange oil to the citrus top, and vanillin to the vanilla base. Pear, peach and praline remain accords, blended under the word fragrance.
