Rose de Petra

Stephane Humbert Lucas Rose de Petra draws its name from Petra, Jordan’s rose-colored city carved into desert cliffs. This UNESCO World Heritage Site inspired the perfumer to build a fragrance around Bulgarian rose. As a result, the scent carries both the warmth and the mystery of that ancient place.

Notes: Rose, Lychee, and Spice

The opening blends rose, lychee, and pomegranate into a bright, fruity accord. Then, Bulgarian rose takes center stage at the heart of the composition. Finally, cardamom, pepper, and cumin seed settle into a spiced, distinctive base.

A Rose Unlike Others

Rose de Petra steers clear of sweet, powdery rose interpretations. Instead, its contrast between juicy fruit and dry spice creates a more androgynous, layered take on the note. Consequently, it suits wearers looking for something beyond the classic floral.

When to Wear Rose de Petra

Its balance of fruity brightness and spiced warmth makes it genuinely versatile. Additionally, it performs particularly well in spring and warm summer days, when the rose notes open up further.
