Roses are truly captivating. Firstly, they stand as one of the oldest and most cherished scents. For centuries, they have enriched perfumes, skin care, and aromatherapy, making spaces smell delightful. Its scent evokes feelings of love, romance, and sophistication, blending the charm of old and new scents seamlessly. Although often associated with femininity, it intriguingly enhances masculine perfumes as well.
Historically, they’ve been key in perfumery. Ancient civilizations, like Egypt and the Ottoman Empire, used its petals in oils and perfumes. This marked it as a love and beauty symbol across cultures.
Rose scents vary widely, from traditional to modern. Bulgarian, Turkish, and tea roses are especially popular. Each has a distinct aroma that sets various moods and atmospheres.
Beyond their captivating scent, they also offer significant benefits. Their oil, a staple in aromatherapy, promotes relaxation and stress reduction. Furthermore, it’s a key ingredient in skincare, prized for its hydrating and anti-aging properties.
Combining it with other scents yields rich and complex perfumes. Pairings like rose with vanilla, oud, and patchouli are particularly favored, crafting unique and unforgettable fragrances that are widely adored.
Following are the impressions of such perfumes by Rawaha:
Imperial Rose
If you love roses, you’ll really enjoy Imperial Rose. At first, Rose de Mai is the main smell, making a great first impression. As the fragrance opens up, it’s like the rose is touched by morning dew, making it feel fresh with a hint of green. Finally, the scent wraps up beautifully, mixing flower and spicy smells together for a lovely ending.
This perfume is our way of showing respect to Dior’s Gipsy, trying to capture its special qualities in our own version.
Solitary Rose
This scent is a special mix of roses. It starts with pepper and turmeric. Then, it shifts to Turkish, Bulgarian, and rose de mai. Finally, it settles into a pink base with tonka and patchouli, ending with a bright floral smell. It’s Rawaha’s take on Tom Ford’s Rose Prick.
Spirited Rose
Spirited Rose is Rawaha’s version of Ardent. It’s inspired by love and is very appealing. This scent is full of feelings and warmth. The nature of the scent is cozy which is perfect for new love or lasting relationships.
