Description

The romance of rose is legend in the perfume arts.

Whether worn on its own as a “soliflore” or in combination with other ingredients, rose has the power to bring our senses to the threshold of beauty like no other flower. Rose is beloved across cultures and a well-known ingredient in aphrodisiac recipes that go back several centuries.

In perfumery rose is the innocent and the seducer, something one can smell in some of the finest rose perfumes to date. We will search the rose at this Smell and Tell, and explore the flower’s sensual expressions in food and fragrance.
