Rose Première

Rose Première by Véronique Gabai is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. The house lists its notes as mandarin, bergamot, rose, praline, vanilla, amber and musk, without saying which you smell first. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Listed notes

Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Praline Caramelised nuts. Sweet, toasty and very moreish.
Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
