Rose Kashmirie by Les Parfums de Rosine {New Fragrance}

Les Parfums de Rosine will introduce a new fragrance this fall called Rose Kashmirie. The perfume, described as a warm, soft, luminous and spicy rose concoction, is inspired by the colors, aromas and mythology of India. One of its main ingredients, saffron, mystically blooms from October to November. The perfume will be launched officially in October 2007 although it will be available sooner in select retail points. The fragrance was composed by nose François Robert in collaboration with the founder and owner of the house, Marie-Hélène Rogeon......
