Rose Étoile de Hollande is one of Mona di Orio’s most elusive and uncompromising creations. Long discontinued and now nearly impossible to find, it presents rose not as romance or decoration but as substance. This is a dark, solemn rose shaped by leather, spice, and shadowed depth, a composition that feels classical, serious, and emotionally resonant.
From the first moments, the rose is unmistakable and resolute. Dense, wine dark, and slightly austere, it carries a leathery undertone that gives it gravity rather than softness. There is no sweetness and no cosmetic polish. The rose feels worn in, lived with, almost archival, like petals pressed into old leather and time.
As the fragrance develops, the leathery facets deepen and the composition grows quieter and more contemplative. Spices and darker materials support the rose without distracting from it, allowing its natural bitterness and depth to remain intact. The effect is dignified and restrained, evoking old world perfumery where materials were allowed to speak plainly and with weight.
Rose Étoile de Hollande is not designed to please quickly. It is a fragrance for those who appreciate rose in its most serious form, where beauty comes from depth, restraint, and character rather than charm.
You will receive a 5 ml glass spray decant, hand poured from an authenticated original bottle. This is one of the last remaining decants available online and will not be restocked. Securely packaged for gifting or travel.
Why sample this?
Because fragrances like this no longer exist. Sampling allows you to experience a historic, collectible rose without the impossible task of sourcing a full bottle. Rose Étoile de Hollande is essential for lovers of dark florals, leathered roses, and classical perfumery with soul. This is rose as presence, memory, and quiet authority.
