Rose Centifolia Extrait 1 is Guerlain’s ultimate expression of rose—pure, concentrated, and luxurious, built around the iconic Grasse Centifolia (May rose), a raw material the house has used for nearly 200 years. 

This extrait (≈30% concentration) transforms rose into something deep, honeyed, slightly spicy, and softly smoky, elevating it far beyond a simple floral into a rich, artistic statement fragrance. 

👉 Think:

Velvety rose petals + honey warmth + incense smoke + earthy depth
