La Fete des Roses by Caron c1936

La Fete des Roses (The Festival of Roses) by Caron was launched in 1936. Created by Ernest Daltroff.




Fragrance Composition:


So what does it smell like? It is a rich, floral fragrance for women with a dominant sweet rose note. It was based on blend of Bulgarian rose, May rose, and Damask rose with a dose of Anatolian carnation and geranium resting on a base of vanilla, musk and vetiver. Spicy and rosy...refined and elegant.
  • Top notes: geranium
  • Middle notes: Anatolian carnation, Bulgarian rose, May rose, Damask rose, lilac, iris, violet
  • Base notes: orris, vanilla, musk, vetiver

L'Amour de l'art, 1950:
"La Fete des Roses by Caron: Roses between roses, you last more than the space of a morning...and your sweet aroma blossoms again the next day. From your vermeil bottle, lying on a bed of silky petals, rises a divine smell, a scent of youth where thornless roses bloom again in the sun."


Bottle:
