Spirit & Story
Apothecary Rose Absolute is the splendid, sultry sister of Rosa damascena, offering similar chemical constituents but with a woodsy, slightly rebellious base note. Known as Gallic Rose, Crimson Damask Rose, or Rose of Provins, this absolute is prized for its emotional, spiritual, and sensual properties—opening the heart, lifting spirits, and inspiring sacred connection.
"The Persians, like both the Greeks and the Romans, bathed their bodies in fragrance and also used perfumes lavishly in connection with burials, sacrifices, and ceremonies of all sorts. We owe the art of rose distillation to the Persians."
~ Jill Jessee, Perfume Album
Safety Note
