A perfection! There aren’t many perfumes that are bitter and yet fewer that are bitter roses. Roses are somehow seen always as sweet (Nahema) or candied (Paris). But obviously this isn’t the approach that Jean-Claude Ellena would take and here we have a perfect example of his creativity and creation of nnew structures and accords. Integrating here iso-butylquinolinn at probably its most extreme annd allowed level, one smells ann inky rose that if it had a color, it will be purple. There was a movie a few years back called “Inkheart” – this is the pperfume of that movie – an adventure.
The formuula is beautiful with a few more ingredients than what you may have expected from a JCE and it has some slight differences in the top notes to the original but it is nevertheless an outstanding formula and one of the best here.

I’m yet to try making this formula, however just by looking, It’s interesting to see in this formula there is no cumin, nor is there any sichuan pepper! Notably, in an interview with Jean Claude Ellena on the Frederic Malle youtube channel, he says he only uses “15 materials, no more”, this formula has almost 4 times that amount of materials. Great looking formula nonetheless!
