Rose de Petra

The description of the perfume Petra: the capital of the Nabataeans, one of the wonders of ancient engineering, and a beautiful decorated kingdom carved entirely into the side of the mountain believed to be the biblical Sinai itself. Words cannot describe the greatness of the place known as the City of Roses, but Stéphane Humbert Lucas chose a more fitting means through Rose de Petra, a stunning flower that honors half of its name with a refreshing and luxuriously mysterious natural rose. We like to think of Rose de Petra as a journey through an ancient rocky valley, where wild roses bloom in full splendor from every crack in the rock. What begins as a simple and beautiful journey opens up to mystery and wonder - that clean and bright rose scent we smell is not a single simple tone but rather concentrated rose oxide accompanied by a rich body and delicious extract of pomegranate and lychee. As the pure natural Bulgarian rose heart expands, so do the spices - cardamom, cumin, and pepper, strong enough to invigorate you but light enough to keep this fragrance away from the world of typical rose chypre. Here again, we see the necessity of Lucas's relentless commitment to high-quality ingredients, as the simple composition of Rose de Petra deceptively hides an astonishing integrity that we would not have imagined possible from just reading the notes. Like a fully carved city in a mountain in the middle of the desert, Rose de Petra is a masterpiece of construction that will amaze you with its beauty. It is presented in a transparent bottle inscribed with original gold, decorated with a unique cap made from hand-ground golden honeycomb and a small multifaceted Swarovski crystal in peach color placed on the crown.
