The Painters’ Roses collection.
No two roses in this collection are the same, even those of the same name. Each has its own personality. In fact, every individual petal is unique in its own makeup - with it sometimes appearing that a brush dripping with paint has been dragged along the length of the petal. And only the Master Painter, mother nature herself, could conceive of these combinations: ravishing mixes of reds with violet, wine with peach, soft white with splashes of pink.
The rose opens to a whirling palette of colours, and the cycle begins - look out for a rich palette of colour, each time different but always harmony.
The Painters' include: Henri Matisse - Paul Cézanne - Camille Pissaro - Grimaldi - Guy Savoy.

Grand Parfums Collection.

Each Delbard Rose fragrance is made up of three parts: the head, the heart and the base of the perfume.
The Head this is the perfumes spirit. Made up of two olfactory families; the citrus (lemon, mandarin, bergamot) and the aromatic (lavender, aniseed, citronella); they are the most fleeting and constitute the ‘head’ notes of the perfume.
The Heart; then come the notes of flowers, fruit, spices and plants. These are the perfume’s heart, its personality.
The Base; now appear the lower, heavier components, which form the wake of the perfume with the deep and lasting notes: wood (cedar, moss) and balsam (vanilla heliotrope).
The Perfumed Collection includes; Souvenir de Marcel Proust, Chartreuse de Parme, Le Rouge et le Noir, Dioressence, Grand Siecle, Belle du Seigneur, Madame Bovary and, Mitsouko
