It takes 150 Damascena roses from Bulgaria to make the rose essential oil that's incorporated into Maison Francis Kurkdjian a la Rose Eau de Parfum, $245. It also has some orange, violet and magnolia blossom notes, and, at the base there's the sought-after May Rose. This scent is extremely sophisticated and complex -- chic and grownup without being stuffy.
The Stella McCartney fragrances have always been all about roses, and the newest version, Stella Eau de Toilette, $87, is no different. It is, however, a fresher take on the meaty Bulgarian rose scent. Balanced out with zesty mandarin and frozen lemon, with a touch of sexy amber underneath, it's a modern spin on femininity.
In Sunday Riley Flora Hydroactive Cellular Face Oil, $90, Russian, Bulgarian and Turkish rose extracts are used to even out discoloration and smooth skin's texture. You can barely feel this oil when you put it on -- it's that dry -- but it keeps skin looking fresh and hydrated all day.
There are four types of rose extract incorporated into the Peter Thomas Roth Rose Stem Cell Bio-Repair Gel Mask, $38, and one of them is the May Rose. These extracts work together to calm irritation and tighten skin. The beautiful pink gel feels cool when you apply it, and in 10 minutes skin looks glowy and lines are softened.
Aerin Rose de Grasse, $185, is another scent celebrating the May Rose. This scent is also infused with the deeper Bulgarian rose and the concentrated fragrance of rose absolute. If you're a rose lover, meet your new signature scent.
