Welcome to the new website of Celeste Parfums
Rose de Mai from the Grasse collection by Perris Monte Carlo is a tribute to the precious and refined May rose, one of the most beloved flowers in haute perfumery. This exclusive fragrance captures the romantic and delicate essence of the hand-picked roses from Grasse, which bloom only once a year and are known for their refined, velvety aroma.
Jean-Claude Ellena explains how the small centifolia rose or Rose de Mai colours his memories of Grasse in early summer, when he helped his grandmother with the harvest. The lightest pink with a delicate complexion and a sweet, subtle perfume, the rose is at once light, sublime, fresh and seductive. But it unleashes all its sensuality when combined with Musk or Patchouli. "To balance its provocative appeal", says Jean-Claude, "I used languid, opulent notes. From over fifty varieties of roses, I chose the Rose de Mai: it is the most widely grown flower in Grasse and, most importantly, it has the brightest, most radiant scent".
