Parfumerie Generale Isparta ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 27 January 2014 12 Comments

Parfumerie Générale No. 26 Isparta

French niche line Parfumerie Générale has launched No. 26 Isparta, a chypre oriental fragrance. Isparta is named for the Turkish province, known for the cultivation of damask rose.

"The province of Isparta in Turkey is famed for its rose oil, obtained from a variety called ‘Isparta Summer Roses’, which grows profusely in gardens and terraced fields on the soft mountain slopes. The roses are picked early in the morning when they are half-open and their fragrance is the strongest… intense, rich, slightly spicy.”

Behind wisps of burning resins, Isparta hides a woody rose embraced by a velvety animalic accord of red fruit, benzoin, calamus and ambroxan…

Additional notes include Peru balsam, patchouli, frankincense and agarwood.

Parfumerie Générale No. 26 Isparta is available in 30, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum, €62 - €130.

    I am really excited by this news! My search for a replacement for my once beloved OJ Ta’if may be at an end – this sounds good, and I am very fond of my PG Ilang Ivohibe so I have high hopes for this.

    Oooh, that sounds beautiful, and I’ve had great luck with PG. On the “sample” list it goes.

      My sample list is too long, but I’m adding it too.

    A definite must try, and anyone looking for a lovely T’aif Rose should sample the new one out by Perris Monte Carlo.
