In chess, a gambit is a strategic move where a player sacrifices a piece to gain advantage and, eventually, take control of the board. In Rose Gambit, the conventional prettiness of a rose is given up in order to achieve something more ambitious - a fragrance charged with electricity, strong and precise like the ticking of a mechanical clock in a chess game.
A woody rose to checkmate your expectations, deviously played by Stéphanie Bakouche.

“The Nose Republic brand grew out of a blog of the same name - my first Telegram channel about perfumes. In its name (“Republic of the Nose”, from the Latin res publica - a common cause) I once sewed a simple idea that smells - the most visceral, primitive, unfiltered sensations of all - equalize and unite people from different strata, be it then professions, regions, languages, etc. The Nose Republic brand is based on the same simple idea.
The stories that I want to tell in the perfumes of my brand are also simple - but real and, it seems, important. And these stories, although rooted in my culture, are universal and will resonate with many - regardless of the color of the passport. The sweet longing for space, the warmth of memories, the excitement of freely running through the forest, the feeling of exaltation that you experience while looking at the city at night from a great height - emotions that, I’m sure, have already passed through your mental rooms once. Let them pass again and leave fragrant traces on the door handles.” – Ksenia Golovanova
