Apothecary Notes
The rose has held a privileged place in the history of perfumery since Antiquity. Cultivated by the Persians, Greeks and Romans, it was prized both for its beauty and its delicate fragrance.
During the Middle Ages, rose petals were frequently used in herbalist shops and apothecaries to prepare floral waters, scented balms and aromatic remedies. Monastic gardens often featured several varieties of roses among their medicinal plants.
From the 17th century onwards, rose became one of the most sought-after raw materials among European perfumers. Its refined fragrance continues to inspire some of the world’s most iconic perfumes today.
The Symbolism of Old Rose
For centuries, the rose has symbolised love, delicacy, beauty and elegance. Heritage roses also evoke the nostalgia of old gardens, refinement and the passing down of traditions.
Associated with gentleness and harmony, the rose encourages us to slow down, appreciate life’s simple pleasures and create a soothing and comforting environment.
