The character

What Rose actually smells like

Rose is steam-distilled from the petals of Rosa damascena, the classic damask rose used in perfumery for centuries — full, unmistakable, and the one floral note most people could identify without seeing the bottle.

That universal recognisability makes it ideal for living rooms and for gifting, where a scent needs no introduction to be appreciated.

A note on safety

For external aromatherapy use only — never taken internally. Use with care during pregnancy, ideally in a diffuser rather than on skin, and avoid entirely during the first trimester unless a qualified practitioner advises otherwise. Suitable for diffuser and inhalation use for adults and children 12 and over; for younger children, consult a healthcare professional first. Use with caution around pets, and never apply topically to an animal. Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets.
