Fragrance information:
Roxana Illuminated Perfume is a brand born in sunny California in 2007 that forever changed the perception of natural perfumery.
Its fragrances are true works of art, and Rosa is one of the most striking examples.
Launched in 2008, this unisex fragrance instantly won the hearts of lovers of complex, multifaceted compositions.
A fragrance born of California roses
Rosa is part of the “Californica” collection, dedicated to the wildlife of this remarkable state. The fragrance is inspired by California roses—their delicate beauty and tart, earthy character.
This olfactory poem was created by Roxana Villa, renowned for her skill in working with natural ingredients.
The result is both tender and daring—a true portrait of the wild.
How Rosa unfolds
From the very first seconds, Rosa envelops you in a smoky, slightly faceted accord of oud and refined leather, soon softened by damp earth and the greenery of vetiver.
But the real magic happens next: a luxurious bouquet of roses blooms from this tart depth.
At the heart of the composition, two entirely different facets of rose intertwine—Turkish rose otto essential oil, spicy with fruity nuances, and Indian Bourbon rose absolute, honeyed and rich, with hints of tobacco.
It is not merely a flower—it is an entire rose garden bathed in Californian sunshine.
Character, sillage, and mood
The fragrance belongs to the floral family, yet its character is far from cloyingly floral. Thanks to resins, a woody accord, and oak, the composition gains a refined bitterness and richness.
Bergamot adds sparkle, making the opening fresh and cheerful. The sillage is very strong, long-lasting, and distinctive.
Rosa is perfect for a cool evening or a cozy day when you want to surround yourself with a warm, sensual cloud.
Who should try Rosa
This highly concentrated perfume extract is a choice for bold connoisseurs of natural perfumery. It suits both men and women (unisex) seeking depth, a story, and soul in a fragrance.
If you appreciate the style of Clean Lather or the unexpected smoky notes of Demeter Mesquite, be sure to discover Rosa.
For lovers of oriental and balsamic fragrances, Al-Rehab Bakhoor Adeni makes an excellent complement.
