A NEW ERA
The collection features two first-of-its-kind innovations for Lancôme.
“Hiding in the winter haze, the rose is at the same time fresh, almost cost and sensual, shaded with mystery. An enigmatic accord that takes us back to that ephemeral moment, just after the rain, with ambrette, gently iridescent.”
“The quintessence of rose, more than ever magnified, natural and anchored in modernity. 1001 Roses celebrates the emblematic Rose of Lancôme, a plural Rose with a modern, fresh and aerial floral bloom, represented through all its faces and all its facets.”
“Just like a summer storm, the fruit rose is electrified by vegetal and fiery accents. Blackcurrant bud absolute comes to strike, like lightning. Produced in a French and sustainable way, it brings green, juicy, sharp and complex notes. The rose floral heart reveals an atmosphere that is both very sensual and vegetal.”
“A rose & vetiver chiaroscuro. For this creation, the rose is contrasted and adorned with wood. Vetiver reveals its fresh and smoky facets to adorn the rose and reveal a new intensity.”
“Like an evanescent dream, a bold white rose is enveloped by the strength of woody notes. The majestic queen of flowers -- here in a trip: the rich Damascena, the exclusive Lancôme and the precious Taïf -- reveals full, opulent petals, sprinkled with the soft aura of musk.”
“The first gourmand oud: a deliciously irresistible oud… This ‘oud plaisir’ awakens our senses with its addictive intensity and its epicurean signature.”
“This composition is as clear as the morning dew. A pure, delicate and sun-kissed rose, shaped instinctively.”
“Like velvet on the skin, a golden glow, enveloped in a veil of precious rose, jasmine, and velvety musk, it creates an aura of comfort & intimacy.”
“A radiant rose bathed in aromatics. For this creation, I imagined a floral composition built around two key ingredients: the queen of flowers, the Rose and an ensemble of aromatic notes: cypress, rosemary & thyme, like an ode to a lush garden.”
“A hypnotic rose, magnified by the sumptuous texture of sandalwood. I chose to create a synergy between the rose and the sandalwood note; in this composition, the flower and the wood seem to intertwine with each other.”
“Between the elegance and carnal extravagance, a rose dressed in the depths of woods and amber… I was inspired by the duality of the rose, between its elegance and its sensuality.”
“When the smoky, bewitching volutes of black tea meet the delicate freshness of rose. A definitely contrasting fragrance, oscillating between dark & deep nuances and more luminous & colorful tones.”
“I wanted to reveal the freshness and natural beauty of the rose. The elegance of the rose is adorned with a gourmand and vegetal facet through fig compote.”
In a mission to reinvent perfumery’s most iconic ingredient, our 11 perfumers liberated their work from classical olfactive pyramid & invented a new way of constructing a scent. The Halo Construction: crafting the rose at the very heart of an olfactive symphony.
