Pure, soft and luminous, it slowly reveals a tender, musky rose, filled with Parisian nostalgia and memories of blooming gardens. Rose Trocadéro was created in 1976 by Yuri Gutsatz.
The garden behind Rose Trocadéro
Rose Trocadéro: A Niche Rose Perfume, Between a Parisian Garden and Childhood Memories
Rose Trocadéro is a soft and luminous floral Eau de Parfum, that smells like a blooming rose garden, full of nostalgia and tenderness. It blends rose petals, cassis buds, and a delicate white musk to recreate the sensation of a true bouquet of roses, very Parisian, with a subtle lychee facet.
Created in 1976 by Yuri Gutsatz under the name Rose Thé, this fragrance pays homage to the French haute perfumery of the 1920s, childhood gardens, and the elegant women of Paris.

What Does Rose Trocadéro Smell Like?
Rose Trocadéro opens with the fresh, natural radiance of an outdoor rose bouquet, as if gently crumpling petals still dotted with morning dew. The blackcurrant buds add a green, fruity touch, almost like lychee, making the rose more crisp and lively.
In the heart, rose absolute, geranium, and clove recreate the depth of an old rose, rich and textured, without falling into a dated powdery scent. In the base, musk and honey create a soft, caressing, almost suede-like trail that stays close to the skin, like a tender memory.
The Trocadéro Garden, a Source of Inspiration
Rose Trocadéro is inspired by the Trocadéro Gardens in Paris, with their iconic view of the Eiffel Tower, flowerbeds, and an atmosphere that is both urban and romantic. It’s a garden where one takes a stroll in the early morning, when the roses fill the air with fragrance and the city gently awakens.
In the House’s imagination, this garden evokes childhood gardens, damp benches, bees buzzing around flowers, and the simplicity of peaceful happiness amidst the roses.
"In Rose Trocadéro, I rediscovered the comforting scent of my happy memories. The roses in this fragrance are bright pink, with petals and bees flying around them. This fragrance is by no means playful, as some rose-centred fragrances can be, but it is pure and joyful, like a child's smile."

Behind the Scenes: Yuri, Arlette, and the Rose Trilogy
Rose Trocadéro was born in 1976 as part of a trilogy of rose perfumes created by Yuri Gutsatz for his wife Arlette, who adored this flower: Rose de Mai, Rose Thé, and Rose Opéra. Ultimately, only one formula was kept, Rose Thé, which would later become Rose Trocadéro.
Yuri was inspired by the perfumes worn by women in the 1920s, when he was a child in Saint Petersburg: intense, elegant, very French roses that deeply marked him. Decades later, Clara Feder renamed Rose Thé to Rose Trocadéro, as a tribute to Arlette’s distinctly Parisian charm and her own childhood garden memories in Paris, from an apartment with a view of the Eiffel Tower.
"Rose Trocadéro is a rose from start to finish, beautiful roses, soft yet luminous, like the pink clouds of a perfect sunrise; vibrant yet luminous. It is not an old-fashioned powdery rose, nor is it a flashy rose; it is the quintessential feminine rose, tender and intimate in its beauty, almost suede-like in its softness."

- A soothing facet: Rose absolute is known for its comforting properties, making Rose Trocadéro an ideal fragrance for peaceful moments, or even as a pillow mist.
- A high-perfumery composition: A mastered blend, balancing naturalness and sophistication, created by a pioneer of niche perfumery.
Who Is Rose Trocadéro For?
Rose Trocadéro is for anyone who loves the authentic, fresh, and radiant rose, far from the clichés of overly sweet or powdery roses. It’s a perfect fragrance for those seeking a “modern classic” rose scent, tender and easy to wear daily.

When to Wear Rose Trocadéro?
Rose Trocadéro is particularly at home in spring and summer, when its floral, radiant garden side naturally resonates with the softer air. But its musky and honeyed softness in the base also makes it a comforting fragrance for autumn, to be worn like a light olfactory scarf.
It’s perfect for office days, walks, daytime romantic dates, or evenings when you want to stay in a delicate and intimate register rather than something spectacular.
