Molton Brown, the distinguished British fragrance house, has unveiled its latest masterpiece, the Rose Dunes collection. Drawing inspiration from the enchanting landscapes of the Arabian desert and the opulent scents of the Middle East, Rose Dunes captures the essence of a mystic ‘desert rose’. This new line is a testament to Molton Brown’s dedication to crafting luxurious and sophisticated fragrances.
The Craftsmanship Behind Rose Dunes
Created by Senior Perfumer Philip Paparella, Rose Dunes is a harmonious blend of floral, ambery, and woody notes, symbolizing the unique crystallized formations found in the Arabian Desert. The collection’s Eau de Toilette opens with tart cassis, complemented by the green, spicy nuances of pepper and geranium, leading to an earthy-mossy base enriched with patchouli Sulawesi and resinous amber. The Eau de Parfum offers a deeper, woodier interpretation, with an overdose of patchouli, and finishes with a lingering base of sandalwood, musk, and vetiver.
“A mysterious desert shimmers with rose and rich spices, enwrapped by a sumptuous, earthy-ambery base.”
– Philippe Paparella, Senior Perfumer

Furthermore, their Elsenham manufacturing facility operates with carbon neutrality, reflecting the brand’s ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility.
The Collection
The Rose Dunes collection is available in a range of products designed to immerse users in its luxurious scent. The Eau de Parfum, available in 100ml, provides a woodier, leathery interpretation of the fragrance, with an addictive oudh accord that lingers with notes of sandalwood, musk, and vetiver. The Eau de Toilette, also available in 100ml, opens with tart cassis and is deepened by patchouli Sulawesi and resinous amber. Complementing these fragrances are the Bath & Shower Gel and the Body Lotion, both available in 300ml, which are designed to capture the romantic and hazy ambiance of a desert at sunset. Each product in the collection, from the spellbinding pearlescent texture of the Bath & Shower Gel to the shimmering swirl on the Eau de Parfum cap, embodies the luxurious and indulgent essence of the Rose Dunes.
