Rose Queen Marie (formerly Rose Parisienne) represents the scent of roseraies (rose gardens) blooming in the French royal gardens as Spring arrives. It is a modern rose base of the essential oil type (Rose D'Orient) and has been used in a number of Guerlain fragrances since the 1980s. The base is named after Queen Marie Antoinette. This base has all the typical components of a rose oil base but in true French royal style it has a more refined and genteel character. Used in traces it imparts a subtle Rose Otto, or in overdose to create a delicate rosy canvas upon which to built an elegant multi-floral fragrance. Rose Queen Marie suits both masculine and feminine fragrances due to its subtle freshness and it is enriched with oils and absolutes from our premium selection of finest naturals.
