It is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all? Who among us has not experienced the pain of loss mixed with the memory of love, transforming into the paradox of sweet torment?

Les Abstraits La Douleur Exquise (The Exquisite Pain) explores this theme in perfume, placing at its heart a singular rose, the icon of love. Representing love lost, the rose melts like red beeswax into beautifully doleful, bodily, and meditative tributaries of cumin, incense, myrrh, and patchouli.

At once spicy, earthy, dry and fleshy, La Douleur Exquise never abandons the iconic flower of romance and love. Instead, it keeps a fresh, plump rose petal in front of your nose to remind you, like a sunrise after darkest night, that all is not lost. It can always be time to begin - and perhaps learn to love - again.

Crafted by master perfumer Antoine Lie (2022).
