Diptyque’s Rose Roche captures the mythical essence of a desert rose through a bright floral woody accord. This Eau de Parfum blends sparkling citrus, lush rose, and earthy depth to evoke a bloom thriving against stark sands.
Development, From Citrusy Dawn to Earthy Bloom
Rose Roche opens with a burst of lemon that feels like the first light over arid dunes. As the fragrance warms, Centifolia rose absolute unfolds in its full-bodied floral richness, conjuring petals unfurling under a relentless sun. In the dry down, smooth patchouli emerges with an earthy, mineral nuance that anchors the composition like the rocky ground beneath the bloom.
