Did you know that the brute Roman emperor Nero, known for his extravagance, had his guests spritzed with rosewater through especially installed silver pipes? From Ancient Greeks and Romans mythology, to Cleopatra and Indian Royals, roses have forever been a symbol of beauty, love, and opulence, and were a clear winner when it came to deriving olfactory pleasures. Imaging the world of perfumery without the contributions of this flower would be like imagining a world devoid of beauty and romance. Around 70% of the rose oil used for crafting perfumes globally comes from Bulgaria, with Turkey, Iran, and Morocco being other significant contributors and limited but precious quantities from Grasse, France. So, here are some of the finest rose fragrances we recommend you add to your collection ASAP!
