Daphné Bugey — A Rose beyond Convention

A rose need not be a polished romantic emblem. Daphné Bugey's interpretation of the flower makes room for greener, earthier and less expected facets, inviting an encounter with nature that is more textured than idealized.

Character in the Imperfect

In describing Rosa Carnivora for Dries Van Noten, Bugey emphasizes nature's imperfections and ambiguity. This creative intention offers an engaging way to approach her work: a perfume can be beautiful without smoothing away every contrast, and a familiar flower can retain an element of surprise.

Two Distinct Floral Perspectives

Rosa Carnivora places rose beside vetiver, with peppered and earthy details lending definition to its floral character. Rose Milano, co-created with Marie Salamagne, takes a different direction through luminous citrus and fruit, rose and jasmine, then moss and patchouli. The comparison reveals two ways to frame the same flower: one more deliberately raw and ambiguous, the other poised between brightness and the shaded structure of a floral chypre. The shared authorship of Rose Milano remains an essential part of its story.
