Molton Brown, British fragrance makers, bewitch your senses with their first ambery-rose fragrance collection, Rose Dunes. An opulent ode to the mysterious beauty of the Arabian Desert with a universal appeal that reaches far beyond the Middle East.
Created by Senior Perfumer Phillip Paparella, Rose Dunes is a sophisticated layering of floral, ambery and woody notes. It’s a scented symbol of the mystic ‘desert rose’ found in the Arabian Desert; this is not a true flower, but a unique rose-like formation of crystallised mineral clusters.
The Eau de Toilette opens with tart cassis at the top. Green, spicy notes from pepper and geranium lend a natural freshness to the floral bouquet. To contrast, an earthy-mossy base is deepened by patchouli Sulawesi and pulses of resinous amber. The Eau de Parfum is a woodier, leathery interpretation with an overdose of patchouli for more depth and darkness. An addictive oudh accord awaits in the lingering base of sandalwood, musk and vetiver.
As always, brand uses the best ingredients in exceptional fragrance concentrations and keep striving to find these in ways that are kinder to our world. Sustainably sourced our patchouli from Sulawesi, Indonesia for its intensity and high quality. The improved cultivation process not only enhances the livelihood of farmers but helps preserve the soil. These patchouli roots are dug up as part of soil tilling and alternate crops are planted 15 months after harvest to allow the soil to restore its nutrition.
The collection is designed with every detail in mind to capture a romantic, hazy desert at sunset; from the spellbinding pearlescent texture of the Bath & Shower Gel to the glimmering swirl on the Eau de Parfum cap. Silent and sumptuous, this truly indulgent fragrance is perfect for luxury-loving, cultured characters.
