Rose 31

Rose 31 was born in 2006 at Le Labo, in the form of an Eau de Parfum composed by perfumer Daphné Bugey. The rose, named in the title, opens the composition. Rose 31 is offered in five sizes: 2 ml, 15 ml, 50 ml, 100 ml and 500 ml.

Rose and cumin

Rose and cumin open the composition. The rose is described here through warm notes, where honey and wax come through. Cumin, the seed of an umbellifer used as a spice, brings an animalic note evoking sweat, paired with an idea of sensuality.

Two woods at the heart

The heart tier brings together vetiver and cedar. A distilled grass root, vetiver offers woody, smoky and earthy facets. Cedar evokes the wood of a pencil, with a resinous brightness. These woods give a dry structure to the opening rose.

Wood, resins and musk

The base brings together musk, guaiac wood, oud, olibanum and labdanum. Musk combines wood, animalic character and warmth; guaiac wood, a South American wood, turns smoky and balsamic. Oud brings an animalic character close to incense, olibanum a mineral, spicy resin, and labdanum an ambery warmth with caramel accents.

A floral rose

Classified as floral, the composition owes this family to the rose placed at the top. Florals are organized around one or more flowers; here, the flower is surrounded by spices with cumin, woods with vetiver, cedar and guaiac wood, and resins with olibanum and labdanum.
