🏔️ The Inspiration: The Alps
Charlotte Perriand loved the mountains. Alpine Green Rose imagines a wild rose growing in the high Alps, surrounded by ice, stone, and thin air. It is the freshest, coldest version of the collection. It strips away the smoke to focus on the icy, green florals.
🧪 The Olfactory Architecture: Ice and Thorn
The scent opens with Frozen Mint and Shiso. It feels physically cold. The heart is Alpine Rose and Geranium. The base is Vetiver and White Musk. It is crisp and biting.
🌿 Raw Material Sourcing: The Altitude
-
Geranium Oil (Egypt): Used to boost the minty, green facets of the rose.
-
Alpine Rose Accord: A reconstruction of the scent of Rosa Pendulina, which is less sweet and more herbal.
🧠 The Scent Psychology: Clarity and Vision
Cold, green scents wake up the mind. Alpine Green Rose provides mental clarity. It is like a breath of fresh air. It helps with focus and decision making.
🇬🇧 The London Lab Technology
We used Cryo-Scenting. Using cooling agents like trace Menthol to create a physical sensation of cold air in the nose, mimicking the mountain breeze.
✨ The Application Ritual
When to wear: Mornings, high stress days, summer heat.
Where to spray: Neck and arms.
Style pairing: White shirts, athletic wear, technical fabrics, minimalist.
💭 From the Perfumer's Diary
"It cuts through the noise. It's sharp, green, and incredibly refreshing. It smells like snow melting on a rose petal."
