La rosa read backwards. A rose extrait at 25 % from Mendittorosa's Freedom collection, formulated by Cristiano Canali on Stefania Squeglia's concept: Turkish rose essence, magnolia and mirallyl to open, Lani rose absolute — the Crimean rose, grown in Moldova and extracted by the last house still working it, with liquorice, tea and hay in its profile — over a petal accord and peony, then Turkish rose absolute again on woods and musks. The bottle carries a silver bird for the translucency of the rose.
