The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
Exclusive №24 ROSÉ was launched in 2018 by Valerie Nesterova, the perfumer behind Valerie Nesterova Exclusive Perfumes. Its name points directly to the rose-led character at its center, but the composition stretches beyond a straightforward floral. Fruity Notes, Raspberry, Orchid, Pink Pepper, and ISO-E-Super join the rose accord, creating a fragrance that balances sweetness, floral softness, spice, and a clean woody structure. The rose gives the composition a recognizable floral focus, while raspberry introduces a bright, rounded fruitiness. Orchid adds a soft, creamy floral facet, and Pink Pepper lends a gently piquant lift without becoming overtly sharp. ISO-E-Super provides a clean, smooth woody base that keeps the richer floral and fruit notes in balance.
What makes ROSÉ interesting is the way its central materials divide the work. Rose and Orchid carry the floral register, Raspberry and Fruity Notes add rounded sweetness, and Pink Pepper interrupts the softness with a measured flash of heat. ISO-E-Super changes the register again, adding a smooth, woody, almost polished character that keeps the composition from becoming purely pretty. The result moves between blush and structure, giving the familiar rose a more contemporary edge.
The evolution
The fragrance presents a rose-centered composition in which several distinct note families interact. Raspberry gives the opening a juicy, rounded sweetness, while Fruity Notes reinforce that soft, luminous fruitiness. Rose remains the defining accent, lending a familiar floral character without overpowering the surrounding notes. Orchid contributes a creamy floral softness that complements the rose and tempers the brighter fruit tones. Pink Pepper adds a subtle piquant edge, creating a lightly sparkling contrast against the floral heart. ISO-E-Super acts as a clean, smooth foundation, lending a polished woody character that also helps the richer notes feel composed rather than heavy. The listed materials create a fragrance that moves between rose warmth, fruit sweetness, creamy floral nuance, delicate spice, and clean wood.
Cultural impact
Exclusive №24 ROSÉ reflects the contemporary appeal of rose as a versatile floral language. Rather than presenting rose in isolation, the fragrance pairs it with Raspberry, Orchid, Pink Pepper, Fruity Notes, and ISO-E-Super. The result combines the recognizability of a floral centerpiece with fruit sweetness, creamy floral nuance, delicate spice, and clean wood. This varied construction gives ROSÉ a distinctive position within modern rose compositions, inviting exploration from those who appreciate familiar floral notes expressed through contrasting textures and accents.
