La Rose France(1920)

At a glance
An overdosed French rose composition from Houbigant, opening on bergamot before a concentrated rose heart, closing on musk and woods. The France designation likely distinguishes its rose sourcing from the Bulgarian damask rose more commonly used by Paris houses, pointing instead to domestically grown French rose, likely from Grasse. It represents a more intensified take on the rose soliflore than Houbigant's plainer Rose release from the same year.

This scent's musk note is almost certainly synthetic — discovered by accident in 1888 while researching explosives.
