Description and usage notes:
This is a Firmenich recreation of rose, perhaps the most famous rose base of all, radiant and characteristic of the flowers. A really excellent product, effective in small doses and useful in a multitude of different fragrances, not only those where a comprehensive rose note is desired.
It is one of the bases described by Arcadi Boix Camps in 2015 as “classical and unsurpassed Firmenich jewels of pure creativity and sensitivity” and on Perfume Shrine, Octavian Coifan describes Wardia as “the crown jewel of all roses”.
Description from Firmenich: “Odor: Floral. Use: WARDIA® possesses the power and the homogeneity of the natural Rose of May absolute.”

The closest to actual Rosa Centifolia absolute. Incredible ! Very classical and natural, sweet and fresh at the same time. I use it in a vintage floral accord. Beautiful.
