ROSA EKATERINA by MORESQUE is much more than a fragrance; it is a liquid tribute to a historical figure who transformed the course of an empire with intelligence, art, and power. Inspired by the majestic figure of Ekaterina II of Russia—also known as Catherine the Great—this perfume evokes the soul of a visionary woman, a lover of enlightened philosophy, the arts, and absolute refinement. It is an ode to powerful femininity, but also to cultured sensitivity, to the seductive spirit that rules without raising her voice, with just a look or a gesture.

From the first moment, the top notes unfold a lively and sparkling blend of pink pepper and elemi, announcing an unmistakable presence. Pink pepper brings a spicy and fruity note that sparkles like jewels on red velvet, while elemi, with its resinous and slightly citrusy character, evokes the sacred perfumes of the ancient world. This opening is not just an introduction: it is a declaration of nobility.

At the heart of the fragrance, a single flower reigns supreme: the May rose. Not just any rose, but the most coveted, elegant, and pure of all. Traditionally cultivated in Grasse, this rose conveys a delicate yet profound scent, enveloping like a crescendoing symphony. It represents Ekaterina's golden youth, her love of French culture, and her pursuit of elevated beauty. This floral heart embodies the soul of the fragrance and becomes the emotional center of the entire perfume.

But it's in the base notes that the perfume displays its true seductive power and unforgettable olfactory signature. Creamy sandalwood, voluptuous vanilla, spicy spices, white musk, cumin, and cinnamon intertwine like an imperial veil embroidered with gold thread. Sandalwood brings warmth, vanilla sensuality, and musk a clean and magnetic aura, while cumin and cinnamon awaken a carnal, spicy, and almost addictive tension. It's an enveloping and lasting base note that embraces you with a presence that never goes unnoticed.

ROSA EKATERINA is not a complacent perfume. It is complex, sophisticated, and captivating, like a deep conversation by the warmth of a fireplace, surrounded by antique books and tapestries. It is designed for those who understand that true elegance is not loud, but intense; that seduction doesn't require fanfare, but substance.

The bottle, like everything from MORESQUE, is a work of art in itself. Its decorators have revived an ancient technique that involves applying color with a natural sea sponge, creating unique hues on each bottle. The final baking and satin-finish process provides a matte and silky feel, worthy of the most refined objects of decorative art. Each piece is unique, and a certificate of guarantee attests to its handcrafted character and its extremely high aesthetic value.

This perfume belongs to Moresque's exclusive Art Collection, where each fragrance not only tells a story but also becomes a multi-sensory experience. In the case of ROSA EKATERINA, the story is that of a woman who, like this fragrance, wasn't content to be just another one: she wanted to make history.

Perfect for cold nights, sophisticated settings, or gatherings where mystery and elegance are part of the code. ROSA EKATERINA is a perfume with memory, character, and lineage. Not just anyone wears it. It's chosen by those who dare to stand out without asking permission, just like the empress who gave it its name.
