OUR ROSE INGREDIENT
In ancient times, Mediterranean women would steep rose petals in oils to perfume their skin with, as a way to radiate beauty and femininity. Now, the scent has become a symbol of beauty and love - an endless source of creativity for perfumers.
Our Roses are harvested in Grasse, France by our producer, Bruno Charpin, who invites a team of pickers that specialise in the art of delicately handpicking roses in the fields. Once picked, they are then thinly spread across a cold room until distillation occurs. Our producers distil at the field to preserve the freshness of the roses.
The Queen of Flowers
The delicate freshness of a bouquet of roses, the velvety softness of dew-kissed petals.
Traceability: Ethical Sourcing
Roses are so beautiful; blooming in the landscape of Provence. They're central to Grasse, the perfume capital of Southern France, as well as being key to our traditions and folklore. L'Occitane perfumers use Rose Centifolia absolute from Grasse, Rose Damascena concrete from Morocco and Rose Damascena essential oil from Turkey and Bulgaria.
