ROSE AND ME

Rose and Me is the unisex eau de parfum by Coreterno, the Italian house conceived in Rome in 2015 and launched in New York under the artistic direction of Michelangelo Brancato, signed by perfumer Luca Maffei and launched in 2019. A brazen declaration of love: a rose with a dark soul, floral, spicy and woody, for those who never ask for permission.

The Fragrance

Coreterno describes it as a brazen statement: the rose in the opening and nothing more, but a rose with a dark soul, never mushy. It is an absolute rose, bold, almost rude, that never looks back. The name brings together the rose and the self, identity and strength, in a fragrance that carries you into a world waiting to be discovered, where every dream can come true.

How It Evolves on Skin

Rose and Me opens with an intense, velvety black rose, almost metallic, as if picked at midnight: a bold, never predictable entrance. The heart blossoms into a blend of geranium and jasmine, wrapped by noble saffron in a warm, slightly smoky thread. The base settles on a decisive accord of guaiac wood and styrax, where dark patchouli dances with musk, which binds and envelops the whole fragrance in a sensual, intimate and long-lasting trail.

Who We Recommend Rose and Me To

We recommend Rose and Me to those who love roses but are looking for something darker, deeper and more personal than usual. It is perfect in autumn, in winter and on spring evenings, for the office, dates and every moment when you want a fragrance that speaks of you with elegance. Unisex, it looks great on both her and him.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Opinion

Rose and Me proves that a rose can be anything but predictable: it has a strong, almost rebellious character, yet always stays elegant. It is one of those fragrances that people who try it in the shop tend to pick up again and again, because each time it reveals something more.
