“A rose by any other name would smell as sweet” is a popular reference to William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet. Roses have long been associated with love and romance but their natural scent goes far beyond.
The colloquial meaning of ‘stop and smell the roses’ is not far from the aromatherapeutic properties of roses themselves. Smelling these sweet, flowers has been linked to slowing the rate of breath, uplifting mood, soothing anxiety and depression, balancing hormones, lowering blood pressure, relieving headaches and generally creating a sense of happiness and harmony. Who can resist pushing their nose into a rose bush anyway? I know I can't.
The rose is one of the fundamental symbols of alchemy, with many manuscripts called ‘Rosarium’ meaning Rose Garden. Roses were widely used medicinally in ancient times. The scent of a rose relaxes and strengthens, imparting a feeling of calm and well-being.
Not your traditional, over-powering rose perfume, Essence + Alchemy Roses captures every aspect of the rose bush from its delicately scented petals in the morning dew to its woody and thorny branches. It’s ethereal and uplifting to help calm and heighten the spirits.
