For this Valentine's Day, Liam presents two rose chypres. The classic symbol of romance, rose's home is in the chypre family.



A mossy, traditional style of chypre, Eau Suave by Parfum d'Empire reveals fruity and spicy facets alongside a classical rose. This perfume, composed by Marc-Antoine Corticchiato, is particularly recommended for fans of vintage fragrances.



Moving into the realm of the neo-chypre is Une Tonne de Roses, by Michel Almairac for his brand Parle Moi. By substituting patchouli for the traditional oakmoss base, a different expression of the traditional chypre is achieved. A touch of carnation brings out the sharpness here, and plenty of white musk and patchouli provides the chypre base. All the while, a fiery and passionate rose remains the star.



Liam believes that rose is the beginning of possibility in perfumery, and we encourage you to explore these two fragrances at our Emporium boutique and online store.
