Adam Michael has this to say “I am aware of two rose gallica absolute producers and I respect both equally.I already carry one and this gallica absolute has been sourced from the other producer and I feel strongly that the profile is substantially different enough to justify its own release. The first thing you notice here is how fruit-jammy this absolute is.
The jammy qualities comparable to homemade rose hip jam, apricot jam, squashed brambles in your hands, and perhaps these fruit notes could even veer a little into a wild strawberry jam territory- comparable to the jammy aspects you find in super fresh distillations of Helichrysum bracteatum e.o. You could even associate these fruits with winter stewed-fruit desserts as there are elements of gooseberries, heavily sugared rhubarb and tart red berries. This specific production is simply a rainbow of fruity-jammy tonalities that really oozes a fun filled big kid feel good persona and I absolutely and completely love this. The type of scent that triggers the brain and lifts your sense of wellbeing up into the clouds and reminds you that life is a gift – even when it’s hitting you so hard, that it feels impossible to see it as such.
Of course though this is rose gallica, one of the oldest rose varieties in existence and so you can be assured of the unique rose scent that gallica rose flowers ooze. Of course this includes the warm fruity aspects but the standalone rose qualities here border into red rose terrain, so dark, opulent, sultry, sexy, erotic perhaps, full bloom unapologetically intense dark yummy rose with hints of full spectrum cocoa. Put all of these nuances together and what we have here when you really evaluate this thoroughly, is a completely gorgeous smouldering rose absolute.
I know we have many rose aromatic lovers and I know many will stay within the safe zone – so damascena and centifolia. But if you are a fellow aromatics fan and love the oddities and curiosities the world of natural aromatics shares with us, then this is the one to try – along with rose bourbon – as that too is an absolute far from the norm of everyday rose absolute. Huge respect to the producer for what is a terrific batch (YR6001) of rose gallica absolute.”

In the truly lavish ‘Rose Garden’ of Adam and Eleonora – at the artisan scope (of the current 14 varieties, and counting) – as I’ve never encountered anywhere in the World of aroma-suppliers during my 30+ years of natural aromatics’ consumption, this particular Rose presents itself to me with intriguing subtleties, sophisticated delicacies and animated elegance in all its facets, akin of an unexpected encounter, and a subsequent lifelong cordial friendship, with a genuine worldly yet wholly charismatic ‘Grande Dame’ (the iconic Jacqueline de Ribes came to memory): an original – nuanced and complex Beauty – inside out; a ‘castle-born’ aristocrat, a lavishly gifted artist, a very fortunate and generous being , yet utterly unobtrusive – on her lucky sunny day:
she will excite you with her instinctive sense of glamorous and timeless style, entertain you with funny stories, serve you delightful desserts and charm you with her elusive ‘Je ne sais quoi’ – in every graceful gesture (every whiff and inhalation). while keeping you at ease, relaxed and happy (and you are not noticing, how many cakes you’ve ate, lulled by her soothing voice and infectious laughter).
The coral shades of this Rose while rich, are semi-transparent and fluid, never cloying or loud; her green side is suave, her unique spice is evanescent and elusive (a faint hint of dainty Aniseed biscuits?), her florality is genteel – nothing crude or gaudy,
Her cultivated company lightens your mood up and makes you wonder about the meaning of beauty in fleeting moments, the power of gentle gestures, slow pleasures and understated innuendos.

Not a Classic rose scent. I love this ABS its so powdery, gentle with a touch of class.
One of my favourite rose ABS, work very good with White Ambergris and olibanum.
