Rose Poetique – Eau de Parfum

 Manos Gerakinis ROSE POETIQUE Eau de Parfum 

Rose Poétique by Manos Gerakinis – The Soul of a Queen, Captured in Scent

Rose Poétique is not simply a floral perfume – it is an emotional homage to the very essence of the rose: its dignity, its poetry, and its timeless sensuality. In this composition, Manos Gerakinis pays tribute to the legendary Damask Rose – a flower revered since antiquity as a symbol of beauty, love, healing, and creative inspiration. The ancient Greek poet Sappho called it “the pride of plants, the queen of flowers” – a description that perfectly mirrors the spirit of this perfume.

For Manos Gerakinis, the rose is far more than a motif. It is memory and origin. As a child, he sketched roses in his grandmother’s garden, mesmerized by their form, color, and aura. Rose Poétique transforms that intimate memory into fragrance – not as a nostalgic replica, but as a powerful, modern reinterpretation.

At the heart of the composition lies the Damask Rose – not sweet or timid, but lush, velvety, and profound. The opening sparkles with saffron, adding golden warmth and subtle spice. Notes of rhubarb and raspberry bring a vivid brightness to the structure – fresh and juicy, gently lifting the floral core with playful energy. Labdanum anchors the bouquet with balsamic depth and golden shadows, evoking the impression of a rose in twilight – radiant, romantic, never saccharine.

The base is a soft yet refined tapestry of creamy sandalwood, sensual cashmere wood, and delicate musk. It lingers on the skin like a whisper at dusk – intimate, tactile, unforgettable.

Rose Poétique is a genderless luxury fragrance designed for individuals who appreciate florals that are expressive, complex, and emotionally resonant. Neither sugary nor generic, this is a rose with character – for those who wear fragrance not to impress, but to express.

Handcrafted in Greece, made with plant-based alcohol and entirely free from animal ingredients, Rose Poétique merges ethics, artistry, and elegance. It is a fragrance that speaks softly but leaves a lasting impression.

At scent amor, we present Rose Poétique as an olfactory poem for the skin – a floral reflection of memory, light, and emotional strength.

Manos Gerakinis is the founder and creative force behind Manos Gerakinis Parfums – a fragrance house that blends art, philosophy, and refined olfactory craftsmanship into one unmistakable signature. His creations are born from a rare combination of artistic sensitivity, intellectual depth, and an emotional intuition that makes each perfume uniquely expressive.

Raised in Greece, he was surrounded by the scents of blooming roses, golden saffron fields, dried tobacco, wild honey, and warm labdanum. Nature shaped him, just as much as his early fascination with painting and both ancient and contemporary philosophy. These influences ignited his belief that perfume is more than a fragrance – it is an expression of inner truth, identity, and memory.

Driven by this conviction, Manos Gerakinis founded his own house to create perfumes that tell stories, open emotional landscapes, and leave a lasting impression. At scent amor, we are proud to present his creations as true works of olfactory art – profound, personal, and timelessly elegant.
