Rosa Alba

About

Rosa Alba presents as a cool, pale white rose—delicate and powdery with dewy green facets, a soft honeyed-tea sweetness and a restrained, slightly waxy undertone that reads more crystalline and refined than the opulent Damask or Centifolia roses. It evokes porcelain-like purity, moonlit gardens and old-fashioned bridal bouquets rather than lush, heady florals. In perfumery Rosa Alba is used as a refined heart note to lend vintage elegance and transparency, pairing well with aldehydes, citrus and light florals for sparkling chypres or powdery aldehydic bouquets, or with soft musks, sandalwood and amber to anchor a subtle, long-lasting rose signature.
