Rosa gallica is also known as the Apothecary’s Rose or the Crimson Damask Rose. It is one of the historic old roses, long associated with medieval gardens, apothecaries, rosewater, ointments, perfumery, and traditional botanical use.
This is an old-world rose with history, rarity, and depth and its rather hard to get your hands on. For fellow rose enthusiasts, this is a very special treat.
I purchased a bottle of exquisite Rosa gallica essential oil for my own personal use, but it was far too beautiful not to share. This small-batch oil was created around that precious bottle, allowing the character of the rose to remain at the heart of the blend.
Rosa gallica has depth. Its scent is rich, petal-soft, creamy, indulgent, with the feeling of roses gathered at their fullest bloom. There is a beautiful weight to it: dewy rose petals, a soft powdery sweetness, a faint green brightness, and a warm, romantic floral body that lingers close to the skin.
The scent is soft, romantic, petal-rich, and deeply elegant. It carries the feeling of an old garden in bloom: timeless, feminine, and quietly luxurious.
Made in a very limited quantity and available only while this special batch lasts.
