Delphine Thierry, a master of sensual and soulful compositions, brings this concept to life through her unparalleled creativity, translating the „Rock Rose“ into an ambery rose olfactory masterpiece. This fragrance plays on the duality between the rugged Charme of a Mediterranean coastline and the delicate grace of a blooming rose, embodying the perfect balance of strength and elegance.
A warm sea breeze kissed with amber and earth, Cistus unfolds in sensual waves. Soft hints of rose bloom beneath, while delicate incense and earthy Cistus linger, grounding its elegance in rich, sun-kissed warmth. A fragrance concept that pays homage to the ancient wisdom and floral allure of the Rock Rose, a healing beauty.

“Cistus is an extraordinary essence, embodying a fascinating duality that captivates both the senses and the soul. It carries a warm, resinous amber quality with an unmistakable animalic undertone reminiscent of castoreum, leather, tobacco, and honey,” perfumer Delphine Thierry explains. “This grounding, earthy richness evokes a raw, almost primal connection to nature. Yet, cistus also has a sacred side, calling to mind the quiet serenity of old churches—wax-polished pews, aged paper, incense smoke, and the dust of forgotten histories. It is this sacred warmth, blending the carnal and the spiritual, that elevates the scent of cistus, making it both profoundly grounding and transcendent. Cistus roots you to the earth while lifting your soul to the heavens.”
