Roses For Keats, A Poet’s Olfactory Journey

Our Inspiration

Roses for Keats is a fragrant ode to the renowned Romantic English poet, John Keats, and his enchanting exploration of the picturesque mountains and lakes of the Lake District in the heart of 1818’s mid-summer. This fragrance encapsulates the very essence of Keats’ wanderings, the wild beauty of the region, and the timeless elegance of the wild roses adorning its hedgerows.

This fragrance draws inspiration from a whimsical and imaginary notion – a rose for Keats, worn perhaps as a buttonhole on a distant June day. By immersing ourselves in Keats’ letters, we pieced together the intricate details of his journey, creating a vivid tapestry of the places and vistas that left an indelible mark on his soul. Among these musings, we can easily envision him plucking a wild rose, a symbol of untamed beauty, to adorn his coat. This playful thought, coupled with Keats’ well-documented love for roses, as beautifully captured in his sonnet ‘To a friend who bought me some roses,’ laid the foundation for our exploration for this timeless, floral scent.

 

The Fragrance

At the heart of this captivating scent lies the pale blooms of a wild rose, unfurling their petals with the rising sun. As the fragrance unfolds, a zesty, floral symphony emerges, with top notes of bergamot, pear, and mandarin lending their vibrant hues. The vivacious dance of citrus and fresh greenery sets the stage for the heart notes, where an intoxicating bouquet of rose, gardenia, geranium, and delicate violet leaves takes centre stage. Finally, the fragrance settles into a warm, inviting embrace, drawing from the natural complexity of the rose’s scent. A rich amber and the precious woods of cedar and sandalwood create a mesmerising dry down that lingers like the essence of a timeless poem.

 

When to Wear

Roses for Keats is perfect for romantic occasions, transporting you to the idyllic landscapes of the Lake District, where wild roses dance with poetry’s spirit.

 

 

White Tea & Rose, A Garden of Tranquil Enchantment

Picture yourself forging a path through an overgrown garden, your bare feet sinking into the soft earth. The air is alive with the rustling of leaves, the aroma of crushed herbs, and memories of leisurely afternoon teas where wild roses and raindrops danced together.

It embodies freshness, romance and the enchantment of both florals and greenery.

 

The Fragrance

This fragrance begins with the crisp delicacy of white tea, the sweetness of briar rose, and the earthiness of crushed stems. In its heart, aromatic thyme, classic rose, vibrant hyacinth, and delicate muguet create a harmonious blend. Finally, the base notes of white wood, dried rose, and sensual musk leave an enduring, captivating trace.

Hide & Seek, The Essence of Romantic Playfulness

Our Inspiration

Hide & Seek captures the essence of a flirtatious and sensual game, reminiscent of the early moments of young love. The inspiration for this fragrance takes us back to the romantic days of the 1930s, within the walls of an English country house, where games of hide and seek added an element of playfulness to budding relationships. This scent embodies the thrill of discovery, the excitement of secrets, and the allure of intimacy.

In the unspoken Victorian language of flowers, tuberose symbolises insatiable love, lust, and passion – a secret message of desire hidden to all but the most ardent admirer. We embraced this symbolism to infuse ‘Hide & Seek- with the irresistible allure of love and sensuality, making it a fragrance that embodies the playful pursuit of desire and intimacy.

 

The Fragrance

The fragrance opens with an intriguing blend of top notes, featuring dark, sugary plum, sweet peach, and fresh bergamot. These initial facets gently transition into a floral heart that includes rich, narcotic jasmine, waxy and buttery tuberose, and honeyed, sensual ylang ylang and orange blossom. The scent finally settles into a warm and lingering base, characterised by dark amber, noble vanilla, and soft, sensuous musk. Tuberose, at the heart of this fragrance, adds a multi-faceted dimension, with sweet honey and rich, ambrosial white blooms.

 

When to Wear

The perfect fragrance for special occasions. Its warm and powerful notes make it ideal for romantic encounters, adding an alluring touch to intimate moments. It is a symbol of insatiable love, lust and passion, making it an exceptional choice for those who seek to captivate hearts and create lasting memories.
