THE POWER OF A ROSE

We all know the magic of a great night’s sleep—it’s the foundation of beauty, wellbeing, and feeling like your best self. But did you know that scent plays a powerful role in how well we rest? We’ve been doing our homework on the fragrances that work hardest to lull us into deep, restful sleep, and one superstar keeps rising to the top: the Queen of Flowers—the rose.

The Power of Rose: More Than Just a Pretty Scent

With a history as rich as its fragrance, rose oil is believed to be the first flower ever distilled for its essential oil, dating back to 10th-century Persia. Since then, it has reigned as a heroine of aromatherapy and beauty, prized for its ability to soothe emotions, relax the mind, and promote sleep. Not only is rose known as the gentlest of natural sedatives, but it also carries an air of romance—perhaps why it’s been linked to love and desire for centuries.

A Skincare Treasure with Real Value

Beyond its dreamy scent, pure rose oil is a beauty powerhouse. It’s a tonic for the skin, with mild astringent properties that help boost circulation, calm redness, and even reduce the appearance of thread veins. This makes it particularly valuable for dry, sensitive, or mature skin—a luxurious addition to any self-care routine.

Most of the rose absolute used in skincare and wellbeing products today comes from rosa damascena (grown in Bulgaria) or rosa centifolia (grown in France and Morocco). Given how labour-intensive its extraction is, pure rose oil doesn’t come cheap—but the good news is that just a single drop is incredibly potent, making it a gift that lasts.

A New Idea for Mother’s Day?

This Mother’s Day, instead of traditional bouquets, why not give a gift that lasts longer and nurtures both sleep and beauty? Our LOVE range features pure rose absolute, letting Mum indulge in the luxurious scent and wellbeing benefits of this precious flower—because the best gift of all is relaxation, rejuvenation, and a truly restful night’s sleep.
