“A rose by any other name would smell as sweet” is an iconic line from Shakespeare‘s Romeo & Juliet that eternally romanticizes the flower as an object of desire. The flower bloomed from Aphrodite’s tears over her lover Adonis further reinforces its association with passion. The fact that roses come with thorns, and all the mythology surrounding that beauty-and-danger concept, makes the flower forever appealing. We love, we desire, we suffer…
Rose exemplifies the essence of passion, of longing, and is the ultimate expression of desire and love. It is not just a flower or fragrance, but a phenomenon in itself. A flower that remained favorite of some of the most beautiful women in history from Cleopatra to Noor-E-Jahaan!!
Classic, elegant, evocative, and rich. Rose is representation of love, passion and elegance. Just like a vivacious woman, the rose has many faces and facets that can adapt to almost any situation or mood.
