This limited-edition packaging is inspired by the perfume containers of Classical Antiquity with their pearlescent finish. Unfortunately, it has sustained some minor damage during production. The item you receive may therefore have scratches and marks on the surface. This, of course, has no impact on the contents.

Inspired by Classical Antiquity
The rose was one of the most highly prized fragrances of Classical Antiquity. It was associated with beauty and sensuality, regarded as a natural aphrodisiac and used in perfumes, medicine, celebrations and religious rituals. In contrast to our modern associations of rose as a feminine fragrance, rose scents were primarily worn by men, while deep woody notes were worn by women. Fragrance also played a role in the sensual staging of Classical Antiquity, as perfumes were luxury goods. Sculptures that we know today as raw, white marble could originally have been painted, adorned and perfumed with the scent of rose – almost like ancient mannequins. In other words, Classical Antiquity was full of colour and fragrance. It is this fragrance culture that ROSE interprets with Rosa Damascena – hand-harvested from biodiverse fields in England and distilled into an aromatic rosewater.
The design
The design is inspired by ancient glass flacons used for perfumes and oils. Their distinctive pearlescent iridescence inspired the surface of the packaging. A contemporary interpretation rooted in Classical Antiquity.

Rosa Damascena
The rose was highly prized in the ancient world for its beauty, fragrance and use in perfumes, baths and festive ceremonies. Rosa Damascena has a rich, floral and velvety aroma with notes of fresh petals and soft nuances of honey – a rose reminiscent of a sumptuous rose garden in full bloom. In aromatherapy, rose is associated with harmony, emotional openness, sensuality and vitality.

Our Rosa Damascena is hand-harvested in our producer’s organic fields in England, where cultivation focuses on nature and biodiversity.

Even if you don’t use aromatherapeutic skincare or products for the home, nature still ensures that aromatherapy is all around us. Trees and plants release invisible plant compounds, phytoncides, which research links to lower stress levels and increased activity in the body’s natural defence cells. This is a beautiful account of forest bathing, nature’s aromatherapy and the scientific evidence behind it.
