Hot As Rose

Hot As Rose imagines the vitality of a rose in strong sunlight, surrounded by aromatic plants and fruit-like impressions. Co-created by Alexandra Monet and Alberto Morillas for the 2024 Absolue Les Parfums collection, it places the flower in a luxuriant garden of cypress, rosemary and thyme. The brightness of the rose remains present in the heat, with sweeter, greener blackcurrant giving the scene another lively detail.

Rose essence from the estate carries denser floral character with fruit-like and lightly spicy facets. Patchouli gives the flower an earthier, woody foundation, while the aromatic bouquet surrounds it. Cypress brings a woody feeling; rosemary, thyme and juniper add fresher green detail around the sweetness of the flowers. Blackcurrant bud has a vivid fruit-like impression and greener sharpness, with buchu leaves adding another botanical facet. In the Halo construction, rose forms the centre of these floral, woody and herbal elements.

Try it when you want the character of garden herbs and trees alongside rose, perhaps for an outdoor outing. The selected cylindrical 50mL glass bottle shows magenta liquid under a gold-coloured cap. A round plaque carries Hot As Rose and the brand name, while a sculpted rose appears in the thick glass base, framing the brighter colour with a defined outline.
