Le Labo Rose 31 Perfuming Body Lotion, 237ml at John Lewis & Partners

The perfume's aim is clear: to transform the famous Grasse Rose, a symbol of voluptuousness and unqualified femininity, into an assertively virile fragrance that can be worn by men and women.

The result - an alternating feminine/masculine with the disturbing ambiguity of the Centifolia rose, quickly picked up by a chorus of warm, spicy and woody notes such as cumin, olbanum, cedar and a touch of amber. In the background, the declared sensuality of Gaïac wood and cistus highlighted by a distinctly physical animal note, give this perfume a disconcerting sense of mystery.

Enriched with vitamin E, vitamin A, aloe vera, coconut and olive oil, this paraben-free hand and body lotion perfumes, softens and smoothes your skin.

Scent category: Woody.

Notes: Rose absolute, cumin, vetiver, musks, cedar, agarwood, olibanum, touch of amber. Gaiac wood and cistus in the background.
