SCENT WITH LOVE

Valentine’s Day, love it or loathe it, is here once again and remains that one day of the year where we can let those little romantic gestures shine. Of all the gifts, none set the stage for romance quite like our sense of smell. While flowers and chocolate quickly disappear, fragrance lingers and brings with it an imprint that can last an entire lifetime in someone’s memory.

ROSE ON OUR RADAR

Inextricably linked, nothing says Valentine’s Day as vividly as roses. Synonymous with beauty, passion and love, our creative perfumer Claire explains why the most romantic flower of all, rose, is on our radar!

An incredibly versatile fragrance, rose can be described as elegant, poetic, sensual and powdery amongst many other descriptors. From fruity and fresh, to exotic and even masculine, there is a rose composition for every occasion! My favourite rose fragrance is 212 VIP Rose by Carolina Herrera. I love its modern twist of champagne, peach blossom and the use of woods, intertwined with musks and powerful amber notes.

DO ROSES EVER REALLY GO OUT OF FASHION?

Here at Fragrance Oils we don’t think so, with this tried-and-trusted floral holding its place as the long-standing feature of our company logo. To us, rose is to perfumery what monochrome is to fashion – it’s always in style, and every year we find new ways to wear it! A scent to be enjoyed way beyond February 14th, rose remains an endless source of creativity for perfumers.
