CANDIED ROSE

Candied Rose is a delectable and romantic fragrance note that blends the timeless elegance of rose petals with the mouthwatering sweetness of crystallized sugar. Evoking the scent of rose-flavored confections, Turkish delight, or sugared petals in fine patisserie, Candied Rose softens the natural sharpness and greenness of fresh rose with gourmand nuances—typically hints of vanilla, honey, or fruit syrup. The result is a velvety, luminous accord that feels both feminine and indulgent, often used as a heart note to bridge floral sophistication with edible warmth.

History & Production: Inspired by culinary traditions that preserve rose petals in sugar or distill them into syrups, the Candied Rose accord is crafted in perfumery by combining natural rose essences—like rose absolute or rose de mai—with gourmand molecules such as ethyl maltol, heliotropin, and vanillin. This modern interpretation of a classic flower is beloved in niche and contemporary perfumery for its dual appeal: refined yet playful, sensual yet comforting. Whether paired with fruits, spices, or musks, Candied Rose adds a soft-focus glow to compositions, embodying sweetness with sophistication and a touch of whimsy.
