Mark Buxton, friend, co-founder of Nose and niche perfume legend, breaks the codes of luxury with impertinence and audacity. His eponymous fragrance brand celebrates creative freedom and illustrates his contemporary dandy touch.

For Valentine's Day, the Nose teams invited Mark to take up a surprising challenge: to blindly choose 10 rose fragrances... But above all, what makes them so unique in his experience as a perfumer?

A day in my life

"Funny as it may sound, I chose my own perfume without knowing it... A rose at the cutting edge of quality, combined with peppery, spicy notes giving it a youthful, luminous aspect."

Carmina

"A very modern rose, fruity and worked with a woody, sweet and musky note. When young, clove gives it a spicy note."

Radical Rose

"An unusual aquatic rose, its green facets at the top and its almost rose-petal appearance make it vibrant and luminous."

No.5

"The quality of rose as a raw material is brought to the fore in this fragrance with woody, smoky notes."

Oud satin mood

"A gourmand rose, young and modern, with a vibrant, gourmand note of caramel."

Portrait of a lady

"A classic, absolute rose with very spicy notes."

Rose Atlantic

"A fragrance with a luminous, metallic character where notes of rhubarb add a modern touch, making the juice explosive and fruity."

Sangueblu

"A vibrant, metallic rose, perfectly balanced with modern cedar notes."

Delina

"Rose, rose, rose with a lovely fruity almost raspberry, red and musky facet."

Khôl de Bahreïn

"An oud and animalic fragrance with an aldehydic edge and vibrant, natural woody and amber notes."
