Paris. London. Milan. New York? BRUCHSAL!
In a world that yearns for the next big hype, there are places and fragrances that consciously go against the grain. Rose Poetique by the Greek brand Manos Gerakinis is one such fragrance . It's more than just a composition; it's a statement that proves that true fragrance revolutions don't happen in the world's dazzling metropolises, but where attitude is more important than hype. We discovered this extraordinary fragrance in our city, which has the courage to be different.
The olfactory journey into the world of Rose Poetique begins with the story of its creators. The brand was founded by Manos Gerakinis himself, a man whose passionate relationship with art and nature is evident in each of his creations. His philosophy is to consider fragrance as a form of poetry and an expression of the soul. He doesn't simply create perfumes ; he creates emotional works of art that have a deep connection to Greek history, mythology, and the emotions of life. The house is a beacon in the world of niche fragrances , and its determination to break conventions is reflected in every bottle. Each fragrance in its collection is a tribute to culture, love, and philosophy. Rose Poetique, in this universe, is a poetic tribute to the queen of all flowers, the Damascus rose. It is presented here not as a clichéd, sweet little flower, but as a complex, multi-layered work of art. This philosophy is also evident in the collection's other iconic fragrances , such as the opulent Sillage Royal or the smoky Oud , both of which possess the same depth and uncompromising quality and are highly prized by connoisseurs of the fragrance world . They all tell stories that go beyond mere scent notes .
The Magic of Rose Poetique by Manos Gerakinis
The magic of Rose Poetique by Manos Gerakinis lies in its composition, brought to life by the expertise of renowned perfumer Jean-Francois Thizon . He is a master at reinterpreting traditional fragrance families and giving them a modern twist that makes them unique. With a deep understanding of the art of perfumery , Jean-Francois Thizon has stripped the rose in this perfume of all clichés, transforming it into an unstoppable statement that is noticeable every moment it is worn. It is the result of a visionary collaboration unparalleled in the world of niche fragrances .
The Niche Fragrance DNA: How Rose Poetique by Gerakinis is no ordinary rose

The olfactory journey begins with an unexpected yet brilliant top note. Saffron lends a warm, almost spicy depth, evoking distant, exotic places, while rhubarb adds a tangy, almost cheeky freshness that immediately shatters the traditional notion of a rose fragrance . It's an opening that surprises the senses and makes a bold statement, setting the stage for a fragrance that doesn't play by the rules of the game. The composition is so finely tuned that it tells a story from the very first second, captivating the listener and awakening a deep curiosity about the layers that follow. This unusual combination of notes lays the foundation for the complexity that unfolds at the heart of the fragrance .
The heart note reveals the Damask rose. It's not alone here, but is accompanied by raspberry and labdanum . The result is a rose that's fruity, yet earthy and sensual. The fruity sweetness of the raspberry is perfectly balanced with the deep, resinous note of labdanum, giving the fragrance incredible complexity and an unmistakable character. It's a perfectly balanced, genderless perfume that defies convention. It's the essence of rebellion, captured in a bottle, and it proves that a rose can be both innocent and provocative. It's a constantly evolving fragrance experience that leaves an irresistible aura on the skin. The heart note is a true triumph of perfumery , highlighting the versatility of the rose.
The foundation of this statement is formed by patchouli , cashmere wood and sandalwood . These woody and creamy notes give the fragrance incredible depth and long-lasting hold that lingers throughout the day. The patchouli keeps the rose grounded and never too sweet, while the woods leave a warm, comforting and seductive trail on the skin. The clever choice of these strong, grounding notes in the base is the reason why the fragrance has such a powerful, unique presence and stands out from the crowd. It is a masterpiece that is unparalleled in its complexity and execution and whose complexity can be appreciated by a true expert like Georg R. Wuchsa. It is proof that true art comes from deep within and does not remain on the surface.
