by Maison Francis Kurkdjian
L'Homme À la Rose is a crisp, fresh, and unisex woody floral fragrance centered around a clean, green rose with prominent grapefruit and sage notes. The opening is bright, sharp, and aromatic with a luminous quality reminiscent of freshly cut rose stems, paired with a clean, slightly soapy texture. The rose is subtle and linear, evolving into a dry, herbal, and slightly green drydown with amberwood and labdanum adding depth and a soft, masculine edge. While the scent is well-balanced and appealingly wearable—particularly for spring and summer—it is not overly complex or bold, and is described by many as a light, airy, and elegant choice suitable for the day. Performance is moderate, with longevity reaching up to 10 hours on some skin types, though some users report fading within 2–4 hours. The fragrance has moderate projection, appearing intimate to some and strong to others, and has a signature clean, high-quality feel consistent with Maison Francis Kurkdjian's other creations.
