About the perfume collection
Absolue Les Parfums is a bold new niche fragrance collection from Lancôme’s Absolue line, revealing the Rose like you’ve never experienced it before. Eleven scents are shaped around this iconic ingredient, crafted by master perfumers. Born in Lancôme’s Domaine de la Rose, the Absolue Les Parfums collection amplifies the rose’s infinite charm. Each niche fragrance evokes an unexpected encounter between the rose and the Domaine’s powerful natural elements.
What is the Domaine de la Rose?
The Domaine de la Rose is Lancôme’s estate in Grasse, the perfume capital of the world, located in the South of France. It is comprised of 4 hectares of organically farmed fields, centuries-old terraces, and even a distillery. This land is perfectly positioned for our flowers to flourish. Here, Lancôme cultivates its signature Rose, the Centifolia Rose that Grasse is known for, also sometimes called the Rose of May, each year in May at the height of spring.
What is a niche fragrance?
A niche fragrance is considered unique, with high-quality ingredients and is designed to offer distinctive, often unconventional scents that stand out from the rest. Niche perfumes are usually produced in smaller quantities and celebrate individuality and exclusivity in scent choices. Unlike other fragrances, niche fragrances tend to emphasize artistic expression and personal connection with the wearer, sometimes reflecting an artistic vision or an exploration of specific themes and ingredients.
