Launched at the end of 2010 Rose en Bos is a niche perfume house that specialises in elegant, unusual and luxury scents. All of our fragrances are hand-blended in small batches, according to traditional 17th and 18th century French practices.
Rose en Bos Fine Fragrance represents a marriage of European and African sensibilities: traditional French perfume-making inspired by Southern Africa, and its diversity of cultures, flora and geography. Rose en Bos fragrances are certified 100% natural by the Natural Perfumer's Guild.
Because Rose en Bos perfumes are made the old fashioned way, without the use of synthetic fixatives they are more unstable than perfumes manufactured by large commercial perfume houses and therefore they do not last as long on the skin. Botanical fragrances are subtle and stay close to the wearer. They can smell completely different from one person to the next, as they mix completely and magically with each individual’s personal body chemistry.
Rose en Bos perfumes will appeal to those who wish for a scent that is an alternative to the mass production of commercial perfumery, to those who are interested in fragrances with personality and to those who are interested in the highest quality ingredients.
At this time Rose en Bos has four fragrances:
Imithi: A soft and woody aromatic fragrance with layers of forest and resinous wood. Imithi has notes of sweet vanilla and lavender.
Viridescent: A volatile citrus, fresh with orange and frankincense.
Dark Heart: A spicy and intoxicating floriental with notes of jasmine and rose, melted into an exotic base of luxurious dark chocolate, rock rose and sandalwood. This is a bold scent, not recommended for the faint-hearted!
Rose & Vines: A tribute to the winelands of the Western Cape this fragrance is a sweet and spicy floral with a heart of pink rose, rose geranium and the exquisite night flowering tuberose. Base notes include cognac, and Atlas cedar.
