Olfactory pyramid: 9 exceptional ingredients, a royal oriental-floral odyssey
Balas Rose unveils an oriental-floral olfactory architecture of remarkable precision and intensity - 9 ingredients selected by the House of Ibraheem AlQurashi and deployed in three acts like the rooms of an oriental palace, from the spicy-ruby antechamber to the woody-musky throne room:
🌹 Composition Orientale-Florale-Cuirée Magistrale : A sumptuous blend of spicy, bewitching saffron-raspberry-rose opening, velvety, sensual vanilla-jasmine-daim accord of incomparable oriental richness, woody, robust cedar-bud musk which evolve with regal depth and persistence throughout the day and evening.
A fragrance that unfolds on the skin - spicy-fruity-pink at the opening, velvety-oriental-sensual at the heart, deeply woody-musky at the base, always royal and memorable.
Main olfactory family & accords :
- 🟤 Leather / Suede - velvety, sensual suede-leather accord (brown-caramel-cuiré) - the dominant accord, Balas Rose's signature oriental depth
- 🔥 Spicy Hot - warm, enveloping saffron-vanilla (golden-orange-spicy) - spicy oriental warmth at the beating heart of the composition
- 🌹 Rose - rose rouge-profonde-orientale (red-carmine-floral) - noble, powerful floral heart
- 🫐 Fruity - red-raspberry-juicy-slightly acidic (red-ruby-fruity) - fruity vivacity signature of the opening
- 🍬 Sweet - soft, gourmand vanilla-raspberry (beige-cream-sweet) - enveloping sweet warmth of the composition
🌅 Top notes - L'Éclat Épicé-Rubis de l'Ouverture :
- 🌼 Safran - A royal spice-warm, slightly metallic-golden, the most precious and noble spice note in oriental perfumery-Balas Rose's saffron is not a shy spice: it asserts itself from the outset with a golden, regal presence that unambiguously confirms this creation's place in the great tradition of Arabian court perfumery, that of palaces and sultans.
- 🍓 Raspberry - red-juicy-slightly acidic-vibrant fruit, the brightest and most brilliant fruity note of the opening - its fruity-acidic red creates a fascinating contrast with the golden warmth of saffron, like ruby on gold, two preciousnesses that magnify each other in a fruity-spicy tension of striking originality.
- 🌹 Rose - queen flower-red-deep-slightly spicy-royal, present from the top to anchor the composition in its signature floral-royal dimension - the Balas Rose is not pink: it is red, deep, serious, spiced by the saffron that crowns it in gold - it is the rose from the gardens of Taif, the noblest and most precious rose in the Middle East.
🌸 Notes de Coeur - Le Trio Velouté-Oriental :
- 🍦 Vanilla - creamy-sweet oriental-warm and enveloping, the sweetest, most gourmand heart note - in Balas Rose, vanilla plays the role of the warmth that unites all the elements of the heart: it softens the power of jasmine, amplifies the velvety softness of suede and creates a sweet-oriental accord of remarkable warmth and sensual comfort.
- 🌼 Jasmine - white-opulent-lightly animalic-sensual-deep flower, the most intense and bewitching floral note of the heart - jasmine in Balas Rose is the jasmine of great oriental perfumery: opulent, carnal, present, it brings a white-sensual floral dimension that dialogues with the depth of suede to create the most seductive and memorable leathery-floral accord of the composition.
- 🦌 Suede - velvety-slightly leathery-warm-animal-soft, Balas Rose's most distinctive and sophisticated heart note - suede is the softest, most velvety leather in perfumery; in this heart, it creates with vanilla and jasmine a velvety-oriental accord of incomparable sensuality and richness, the leathery signature that sets Balas Rose apart from all the generalist floral-orientals on the market.
🌙 Base Notes - La Profondeur Boisée-Musquée Royale :
- 🌲 Cedar - dry-lightly resinous-fresh-elegant-robust wood, the most classic and noble wood frame in the background - it structures the background of a dry, haughty wood architecture that gives Balas Rose its robustness and long-lasting hold, the woody backbone on which the whole oriental edifice of the composition rests.
- 🌳 Birch - lightly smoky-woody-cresinous-lightly tarry-characteristic, the most distinctive and singular woody note in the base - birch adds a lightly leathery-woody-smoky dimension that reinforces the heart's suede accord with a descending woody-smoky resonance, creating a leathery-woody continuity from head to base of high perfumery coherence and sophistication
- 🤍 Musk - enveloping-lightly animal-warm-persistent note, the ultimate thread of Balas Rose - the musk in the base fixes and amplifies the entire composition, anchoring the trail in a musky warmth that prolongs the olfactory presence well beyond the lifespan of the more volatile notes, guaranteeing the 7 hours of longevity and the strong trail that characterize this creation.
