Centifolia Rose from Grasse

About Centifolia Rose

Centifolia Rose is a lush rose note associated with the many-petaled rose sometimes called cabbage rose or linked with rose de Mai. It suggests honeyed petals, soft spice, green stems, and a velvety floral body.

Scent Profile

The profile is rich, sweet, floral, honeyed, slightly green, and smooth. It can feel softer and more rounded than some Damask rose impressions, with a tender petal texture and gentle natural freshness.

Use in Perfumery

Centifolia Rose works in the heart with citrus, musks, patchouli, vanilla, spices, iris, woods, and transparent floral accords. It can support romantic roses, modern musks, and more natural floral compositions.

Did You Know?

Its rounded character makes it valuable when a rose accord needs tenderness rather than sharp drama. It can also soften patchouli, spice, and musk while keeping a natural floral center. Honeyed facets help the rose feel full, clear, and naturally rounded without becoming jammy or heavy in the floral heart. Centifolia means hundred-petaled. In fragrance, the name often signals a plush, honeyed rose image, where softness and petal density matter as much as brightness.
