Crown Rose (1873)
by Crown Perfumery

I imagine a Limoges vase filled to overflowing with the deepest red damask roses, resting on a silk velvet cloth in a darkly paneled salon. Dusty beams of light fall on the bouquet from thick leaded window panes. Where the sunlight warms the wall, the scent of old and well-rubbed wood emerges. Some of the blood-red petals are broken, revealing their tart and almost bitter white bases.

Crown Rose captures the dark, warm and powdery scent of old red roses, framed by hints of sweet spices and rich woods. An assertive fragrance, there nothing timid about it. There is also a touch of mystery, like eyes peering through the black tulle of an elegant chapeau.

This is a scent made almost 200 years back and is said to be developed/inspired for Queen Alexandra. I can imagine how this must be a rage back then with the ladies. i can still picture, beautiful middle east ladies over spraying on this one. it's a kind which will smell good depending on who wears it.

in todays world these are available easily and is commonly known as Rose water. but this one is intense and has a nice mix of sandalwood and possibly lil lavender. there is an uncompromising charm about this one, its simplicity and purity is worht commending. it's paid a tribute to the Rose note. pure unadulterated rose far far away from the synthetic world. buy it for its timeless quality and simplicity. history bottled.

Crown Rose is a gorgeous, clean, fresh cut rose scent with a green in the mix! I feel like freshcut roses when I wear it!!
