Rosa centifolia – also called the rose of 100 petals or Provence rose – is a prestigious flower, which is locally sourced in Provence in the south of France. The flowers are pale pink with many petals; these number about 100, hence the botanical name. It has long inspired perfumers from Grasse due to its unique olfactory signature.
