An Italian classic, the Marni brand is sophisticated and unique, spirited and playful. A playground of contrasts, the quirky creativity of the designs by Consuelo Castiglioni with their unexpected colours and prints shout Marni at every turn.

The latest in a long line of fashion houses to launch their fragrance, Marni launched its core fragrance last season. And to celebrate the anniversary, Marni Rose available from November is a rather special project launched in Japan and worldwide.

A more intense take on the Marni core fragrance, the spicy facet of Bulgarian rose oil adds nuance to Marni Rose. In an artisanal celebration of handicraft, the work of ethereal spices and esoteric woods embellishes and accents the fragrance. Cardamom and mint Nanah add saturation, raspberry a flash of pop, violet a girlish touch, bitter almond and cassis vibrancy. A woody base of patchouli and cedar frames this multifaceted symphony, while musk adds dimension and long-lasting texture on the skin.

The package and the bottle for Marni Rose are variations on the original Marni fragrance too. The bottle top has gone from red to black, addressing the black rose signature of the bouquet; the package morphs to pale pink reflected in the hue of the perfume itself all in a signature Marni polka dot outfit.

Marni Rose is an individual, uplifting sensorial experience. No soppy roses here to remind you of you grandmother. This is a sultry, dark incense queen of a rose for those liking something individual and full of spirit and strength. Love it!

Marni Rose is available exclusively at Harrods and Harrods.com from November 2013 (120ml/£95, 65ml/£68, 30ml/£48).
