Description
Rose Shiso by MareeJeanne Grasse
100ml Eau de Parfum
Perfume Author – Alexis Dadier, Perfumeur at Robertet
Olfactive Family – Floral Aromatic
Rose Shiso is an elegant, fresh creation that combines the sweetness of Rose with the green notes of Shiso leaf. This composition invites you to take a stroll through a Japanese garden. A powerful opening of floral notes, followed by a bouquet of aromatic notes enveloped by woody notes.
To celebrate this olfactory marriage MarieJeanne have combined the most iconic of Grasse flowers, Rose Centifolia, with Shiso leaf, whose delicate, finely serrated outline is strangely reminiscent of a rose leaf. In this dual composition, the aromatic power of shiso meets the floral quintessence of rose in a plant-based osmosis where the yin and yang of two cultures intertwine in perfect harmony.
Shiso
Also known as Perilla, this aromatic plant with medicinal and olfactory virtues is produced in Japan. It has an amazing scent of fresh mint, a hint of basil, aniseed and spicy notes that create an invigorating experience.
Rose Centifolia
Also known as Rose de Mai, this emblematic perfumery flower is still harvested in Grasse on typical plots: a rare production. The resulting absolute is characterised by notes of freshly cut flowers, honey and spices.
Head Notes – Shiso (Japan), Rose Bio (Bulgaria), Magnolia
Heart Notes – Rose Centifolia (Grasse), Iris (Morocco), Cedar (Virginia)
Base Notes – Rose (Turkey), Organic Sandalwood (Nepal), Cedar (Texas)
To offer the best perfume, MarieJeanne is involved in every step of the process from the planting to the final fragrance. Enhanced with natural essential oils that are carefully sourced, each one has its own originality. The entire production is hand produced in limited quantities in Grasse.
As Part of the intangible cultural heritage site by UNESCO since 2018, Grasse is the world capital of perfume. It is internationally known for its emblematic flowers: the tuberose, the jasmine grandiflorum and the centifolia rose. Born in Grasse, Georges Maubert has been immersed in the world of perfume since his childhood, and is conscious of the treatment of each local flower, right up to the composition of scents. He is part of the fifth generation of the Robertet company, world leader in natural raw materials. Since 1850, his family has worked in the perfume industry as farmers, chemists, perfumers, and sourcing experts. This ancestral knowledge has been mastered and developed to offer you the most beautiful fragrances.
Since his youth, Georges has been aware of the numerous scents of the Grasse region, especially those of the rose fields and the orange blossom fougassettes of the Maison Venturini. He enjoyed wandering in the Robertet laboratories and playing the apprentice chemist whilst weighing ‘magical formulas’ with the laboratory technicians.
At the age of 14, he did his first internship at the Chanel creation laboratory supervised by the perfumers Jacques Polge and François Demachy. This enriching experience confirmed his interest in the world of perfume. Then, in parallel with his studies at the Instituto Marangoni, he worked as a marketing assistant for the Robertet group in Paris
