Panouge Rose Agathe Eau de Parfum

The unisex fragrance Panouge Rose Agathe is perfumer Marie Schnirer's attempt to envision future cities through scent. What might they be like in 30 or 50 years? Perhaps roses will grow between the cobblestones or from cracks in buildings. That would be magical. The Rose Agathe fragrance illustrates that even in the most concrete and industrialized city, velvety magical roses—light and romantic—can bloom. The perfume composition is unconventional, featuring a blend of cold black metal and natural botanical rose accords. It evokes the chainmail dresses by Paco Rabanne worn by sensual women.

The Rose Agathe fragrance opens with notes of incense and slightly citrusy elemi, cold, sharp, and slightly sour black metal, as well as piney and spicy black pepper. At the heart of the composition are delicate geranium, green notes, smoky, slightly resinous incense, and a sensual botanical rose. The flower feels entirely natural, with deep, garden-like, and even camphoraceous undertones. The base is formed by mineral warm accords, a mysterious velvety rose, and ebony wood notes that enhance the entire composition.
