For the Home
“All is permitted the rose – splendor, a conspiracy of perfumes, petalous flesh that tempts the nose, the lips, the teeth… And all is said, all is born in the year the moment it arrives; the first rose merely heralds all other roses. How confident it is, and how easy to love! It is riper than fruit, more sensual than cheek or breast.”
– 1940’s perfumer Colette in her book Fragrance
