{"title":"May Rose","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMay Rose\u003c\/strong\u003e is a distinctive note in perfumery. May rose (Rose de Mai) is one of perfumery's noblest florals — honeyed, fresh and softly fruity, with a dewy, jammy warmth. It lends a luxurious, natural rosiness to fine floral and chypre compositions. Harvested in Grasse, it brings a fresh, jammy, honeyed rosiness that elevates the finest floral and chypre creations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt Redolia Perfumery this page gathers every fragrance in our catalogue that features May Rose. Whether it sits in the opening, the heart or the base, May Rose shapes how a scent feels on skin — its texture, its mood and the memories it stirs. Browsing by note is one of the easiest ways to discover fragrances you will love: if you already know May Rose appeals to you, the perfumes below are a natural place to start exploring, from fresh and modern interpretations to richer, more indulgent takes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore the May Rose collection below and find your next signature at Redolia Perfumery.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"attar-al-has-passion-oud-extrait-de-parfum","title":"Attar Al Has Passion Oud Extrait de Parfum","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat it smells like\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAttar Al Has Passion Oud opens with a striking burst of blackcurrant syrup—dark, jammy, and immediately luxurious. This is not a delicate top note but a deliberate statement, rich enough to anchor the composition from the first breath. Within moments, the heart reveals itself: May rose and freesia arrive in measured succession, their floral presence both classical and refined. The rose brings a honeyed warmth whilst the freesia adds a whisper of green freshness, preventing the composition from tipping into pure sweetness. This interplay between the dark fruit and the luminous florals creates a distinctive tension—one that feels both mysterious and inviting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the fragrance settles into its drydown, the base emerges with deliberate slowness. Ambroxan provides a soft, skin-like radiance; sandalwood contributes a creamy, almost incense-like depth; vanilla adds a gentle sweetness without cloying; and patchouli grounds everything with earthy, slightly spiced undertones. These four elements move together as a unified whole, creating a chypre structure that is warm, enveloping, and decidedly opulent. This is an extrait de parfum—the richest concentration available—which means the fragrance clings to skin and fabric with impressive tenacity, unfolding across many hours rather than fading within minutes. The texture is dense and velvety, the kind of scent that seems to deepen as your skin warms it, revealing new facets without ever losing its essential character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho made it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMohammad Tammam Mando has composed this fragrance for Attar Al Has, the Istanbul-based niche house. Working within the house's signature aesthetic—one that marries opulent Middle-Eastern materials with the precision of contemporary European perfumery—Mando has crafted a chypre that honours both traditions. The composition demonstrates a confident hand in balancing opposing forces: the dark richness of blackcurrant syrup against the luminous clarity of freesia, the warmth of vanilla against the dry earthiness of patchouli.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePassion Oud is for the wearer who gravitates towards depth and complexity rather than lightness. It suits those with an appreciation for chypre fragrances—a category that has long attracted discerning noses—and those drawn to the opulence of oriental-inspired perfumery. The composition is unisex in its appeal: whilst the May rose and freesia may evoke a traditionally feminine sensibility, the blackcurrant syrup and patchouli-anchored base provide sufficient weight and earthiness to appeal equally to those seeking a more masculine expression. This is a fragrance for someone who wears scent as an extension of their taste and mood, not as an afterthought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen to wear it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a rich, long-lasting extrait de parfum with a chypre structure, Passion Oud is best suited to cooler months—autumn and winter particularly reward its warmth and density. It is an evening fragrance by nature, one that unfolds fully when you have time to experience its gradual evolution. It excels at formal occasions, intimate dinners, and moments when you wish to make a lasting impression. The fragrance also works beautifully during the transitional seasons, particularly in the early evening when the air cools and the composition's depth becomes most apparent. This is not a daytime office fragrance, nor is it intended for summer heat; it demands a certain occasion and a certain frame of mind—one of deliberation and luxury.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the house\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAttar Al Has is a niche perfume house established in Istanbul in 2021, produced by GEFE Kimya. The house occupies a distinctive position within contemporary perfumery, specialising in extrait de parfum concentrations—the most luxurious and long-lasting format available. Its creative vision centres on a particular alchemy: the pairing of rich, opulent materials rooted in Middle-Eastern perfumery traditions with the technical sophistication and precision of modern European fragrance composition. This is not pastiche or nostalgia, but rather a genuine dialogue between two perfumery cultures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Attar Al Has fragrance is created in collaboration with named international perfumers, ensuring that the house's aesthetic vision is realised by skilled hands. The physical presentation reflects this commitment to luxury: fragrances are housed in ornate faceted flacons, each crowned with a jewelled crown cap and the house's distinctive AH monogram crest. These are objects designed to be displayed and treasured, not hidden away. The 100 ml Extrait de Parfum format offered here represents the house's core offering—a concentration and volume that speaks to serious fragrance collectors and those seeking a fragrance of genuine staying power and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Attar Al Has","offers":[{"title":"3.4 oz (100 ml)","offer_id":54008501502268,"sku":"AAH-passion-oud","price":305.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/7078\/0476\/files\/attar-al-has-passion-oud-1.jpg?v=1787331900"},{"product_id":"creed-oud-zarian-eau-de-parfum","title":"Creed Oud Zarian Eau de Parfum","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat it smells like\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOud Zarian opens with a bright, almost ceremonial top note—frankincense and bergamot create an immediate sense of clarity, whilst ginger adds a subtle warmth and gentle spice. There's an almost meditative quality to this opening, the kind of fresh clarity you might find in a temple or sacred space, grounded rather than ethereal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe heart settles into May rose, which arrives with understated elegance. Rather than dominating the composition, it acts as a bridge between the luminous top notes and what's to come, offering a moment of classical perfumery before the fragrance deepens into something altogether more complex and woody.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe base is where Oud Zarian reveals its true character. Oud—that precious, resinous wood from the agarwood tree—forms the spine of the composition, but it's not alone. Myrrh adds an ancient, slightly smoky quality; licorice brings an unexpected sweetness and subtle anise-like character; tonka bean rounds everything with creamy, vanilla-tinged warmth; and patchouli grounds the whole affair with earthy depth. It's a sophisticated interplay rather than a single dominant note, with each element contributing to a fragrance that feels both timeless and genuinely wearable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho made it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eErwin Creed, the seventh-generation perfumer of the House of Creed, created Oud Zarian. Erwin represents the latest chapter in one of perfumery's most remarkable family legacies. His father, Olivier Creed, is the sixth-generation master perfumer who co-created the iconic Aventus and continues to lead the house's creative direction. In Erwin, the Creed family has entrusted its future to someone steeped in generations of olfactory knowledge and the house's exacting standards for quality and craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Creed name has been synonymous with excellence since 1760, and that heritage informs every decision Erwin makes. Working within a house that has supplied fragrances to European royalty and built its reputation on natural materials and small-batch production, he approaches composition not as trend-chasing but as an extension of a living tradition. Oud Zarian reflects this sensibility—it's a fragrance that respects classical perfumery whilst remaining entirely contemporary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOud Zarian is unisex in the truest sense. It doesn't whisper or shout; it simply exists with quiet confidence. It suits anyone drawn to woody fragrances with depth and complexity, those who appreciate the interplay of spice, florality, and resinous warmth rather than linear simplicity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's for the person who understands that fragrance is a form of self-expression rather than decoration. Someone who might equally appreciate a fine tea, a well-made leather jacket, or a room lined with books. Oud Zarian doesn't demand attention; it rewards closeness and invites discovery with each wearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a fragrance for those seeking brightness above all else, nor for those who prefer their scents to announce themselves from across a room. Instead, it's for the wearer who values nuance, who understands that the best fragrances often reveal themselves slowly, and who appreciates the craftsmanship of a house that has been perfecting its art for over 260 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen to wear it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOud Zarian is a year-round fragrance, though it truly comes into its own during the cooler months. The warmth of tonka bean and the creamy sweetness of licorice feel particularly apt as temperatures drop, whilst the woody base and myrrh create a sense of comfort and grounding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt works beautifully as a signature scent—something to return to repeatedly rather than reserve for special occasions. The opening is fresh enough for daytime wear, yet the depth of the base makes it equally suitable for evening. It's the kind of fragrance that settles into your skin and becomes part of how you're remembered, rather than a fleeting impression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConsider it for moments when you want to feel centred and composed: a day of focused work, an evening spent in conversation, or simply any day when you want to carry something of quiet sophistication with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the house\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe House of Creed stands apart in modern perfumery as a genuinely independent, family-run business with an unbroken lineage stretching back to 1760. Founded in London and now based in Paris, Creed has spent more than two and a half centuries refining its craft, building a reputation first by supplying fragrances to European royalty and later through fragrances that have become modern classics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat distinguishes Creed is not merely age but philosophy. The house remains committed to natural materials and small-batch production in an industry increasingly dominated by mass production and synthetic shortcuts. Each fragrance is composed with the same rigour and attention that defined the house's earliest creations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the leadership of sixth-generation master perfumer Olivier Creed, and now with his son Erwin representing the seventh generation, the house has produced some of perfumery's most celebrated modern fragrances: Aventus, Green Irish Tweed, and Millesime Imperial have each become benchmarks in their respective categories. Yet Creed never rests on heritage alone. Each new creation, including Oud Zarian, demonstrates that tradition and innovation need not be at odds—they can, in fact, strengthen one another.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Creed","offers":[{"title":"3.4 oz (100 ml)","offer_id":54008572117308,"sku":"CREED-oud-zarian","price":630.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/7078\/0476\/files\/46192322412860.jpg?v=1787607670"}],"url":"https:\/\/redolia.com\/collections\/may-rose.oembed","provider":"Redolia Perfumery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
