Rose Kabuki is the eau de parfum François Demachy composed in 2018 for La Collection Privée Christian Dior. Inspired by Kabuki theater and Christian Dior’s passion for Japan, it wraps a delicate rose in powdery musks, pink at its heart and haloed in white, like a face made up for the stage.
The house ranks Rose Kabuki among its florals, both floral and musky. François Demachy says he wanted a delicate rose wrapped in powdery musks, pink at its heart and haloed in white, unfolding from the stem to the petals.
Rose and musks
Sayidaty details a touch of blackcurrant in the top for freshness, a Damask rose absolute and an iris absolute at the heart, and a soft, powdery veil of musk in the base. The house sums up the accord: a delicate rose that encounters the intensity of musks.
