We’ve all heard the phrase, “Stop and smell the roses.” That becomes so much easier if you start wearing rose in your everyday perfume or fragrance. Roses are not only one of the most romantic flowers, but they also actually have their roots—no pun intended—in romance. They are the symbols for the ancient Greek goddess Aphrodite. These days, perfume makers all over the world appreciate rose for its iconic and recognizable sweet floral scent.

Benefits of Rose
Rose, rosewater, and rose essential oils have all been used for a variety of uses throughout history. Rose has a healing property, and when applied topically to the face it can reduce acne, hydrate the skin, and prevent the signs of aging. Rose oil can also be inhaled through a diffuser or vaporizer to help soothe symptoms of depression, anxiety, migraine headaches, menstrual cramps, and more. In perfume, you can get the aromatherapy benefits of roses with a simple spritz on your wrists, neck, and other points with high body heat.

Sourcing Roses
A rose’s scent is most powerful in the summer, and they attract all types of pollinators to their petals. Though roses are highly regarded across the world and can grow in a variety of different areas, they are most often sourced from Bulgaria, Morocco, Iran, Turkey, and China. Roses are available in every color of the rainbow; each shade symbolizing something different.
