Rose Fumée No.17 — a floral fragrance with a mineral character
Rose Fumée No.17 by Marie Stella Maris is an eau de parfum released in 2024.
This unisex fragrance belongs to the floral family, but its character goes far beyond a classic rose composition.
Floral softness meets cool aquatic nuances, green facets and an expressive woody-musky base.
The Dutch brand Marie Stella Maris creates fragrances with a modern, clean and distinctive character, and Rose Fumée No.17 continues this aesthetic in a more intense style.
The fragrance is ideal for those who enjoy contrasting compositions: transparent yet rich, fresh yet sensual, minimalist at first impression but multilayered on closer acquaintance.
The development and character of the composition
Rose Fumée No.17 opens with a cool, energetic feel.
An aquatic accord creates a sense of cleanliness, lime adds a sparkling citrus facet, while ginger and Sichuan pepper lend the opening a subtle spicy vibrancy.
Green galbanum and cypress make the first minutes more austere, dry and composed.
Gradually, the composition becomes softer and more floral.
The rose does not feel overly romantic here: its petal-like side is shaded by jasmine, narcissus and osmanthus, giving the heart an airy quality, a subtle honeyed nuance and a distinctive green bitterness.
As a result, the fragrance maintains a balance between delicate floral notes and a cool, almost mineral cleanliness.
The dry-down reveals ambroxan, amyris, patchouli and musk. The base leaves a warm woody trail on the skin, with a clean musky effect and a modern amber smoothness.
Because of this, Rose Fumée No.17 feels less like a light everyday floral and more like a striking perfume accent with a very powerful sillage.
Who will enjoy this fragrance
Rose Fumée No.17 was created for women and men who are drawn to floral compositions with an unusual cool contrast.
It will especially appeal to fans of rose without excessive sweetness, woody accords, musk and spicy nuances.
The perfume performs beautifully in cool spring weather, autumn and mild winter. In summer, it is best applied sparingly and reserved for the evening.
Because of its very powerful sillage, it is best to start with a small amount: one or two sprays on the skin may be enough to appreciate the development of the composition without overwhelming the space.
On clothing, the fragrance may last longer and smell more intense, so moderation is advisable here as well.
Its longevity and development will depend on the temperature, skin type and fabric.
