Les Eaux Primordiales Rose Supercritique
Spiced rose with berries, myrrh and incense
Rose Supercritique opens the house's range of flowers with a rose set in resin and spice rather than in a garden. Pink berries and bergamot give the first impression, rose, blackcurrant and cardamom form the heart, and myrrh, incense and ambroxan close it. The brand pictures a rose inside an oriental palace; on skin that reads as warm, dark-fruited and a little smoky.

How it unfolds
-
Pink berries first
Pink berries and bergamot come in together: a tart, lightly sweet fruit with a clean citrus line over it. The opening is quick and bright, and it gives the rose room to grow without sweetness taking over. Within a few minutes the fruit starts to fold into the heart.
-
A rose with edges
Rose sits in the centre, and blackcurrant gives it a darker, juicier colour than a plain petal note would have. Cardamom adds a dry, aromatic warmth that keeps the flower out of the sugar. This is where the brand's picture of a rose in an oriental palace shows most clearly: rich, rounded, lightly spiced.
-
Myrrh and incense take over
The base is resinous. Myrrh brings a bitter, balsamic depth, incense adds a thin, dry smoke, and ambroxan gives a clean, smooth glow that carries the rose forward on the skin. What remains is a warm, resinous rose rather than a sweet one, calm and slightly sombre.
Wearing it
When, who and why
How to wear it
Best in cooler weather and in the evening, when the resins and cardamom feel at home. Apply it to the neck and wrists and give it a few minutes: the opening is lively, the rose steadier afterwards. As an eau de parfum it has presence without heaviness, so one or two sprays are enough.
Who it is for
For people who like rose but want it dry, spiced and resinous instead of soft and powdery. It suits those who already enjoy incense or myrrh, and anyone looking for a rose with some gravity. Less obvious for those who prefer light, watery or sweet florals.
Why choose Les Eaux Primordiales Rose Supercritique
This is the first perfume of the house's range of flowers, named after the CO2 extraction process. The brand frames it as a majestic rose inside an oriental palace, and the pyramid backs that up with real contrast: berries and bergamot against myrrh and incense. It is made at La Manufacture near Arras.

Questions
Frequently asked
What is the character of Rose Supercritique?
A spiced, resinous rose: pink berries and bergamot at the start, rose with blackcurrant and cardamom in the middle, myrrh, incense and ambroxan underneath.
Which strength is it, and what does that mean?
The 100 ml bottle holds an eau de parfum, a fuller concentration than an eau de toilette, so the scent stays rounder and more present on the skin while remaining easy to wear.
When should I wear it?
Autumn, winter and evenings suit it best, and it also fits a dressed-up daytime occasion. The resins and cardamom feel warm, so in strong summer heat a lighter hand works better.
Is it a good gift?
For someone who likes rose with some depth, yes. It is distinctive but not extreme, and the incense keeps it away from a conventional floral.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
