The Evolution of 1651
This deep rose perfume is base on one, particular rose, the beautiful Boscobel Rose. According to tradition, a wild rose, grew around the hollowed oak at Boscobel House. When King Charles II fled from the Parliamentary troops, at the Battle of Worcester in 1651, he hid there and the rose helped to conceal him from view. The “Boscobel rose” then became a romantic emblem of loyalty and refuge.
This is a rose-lovers perfume - it sits between a centifolia and a damascena profile: full-bodied, with facets of bright fresh red fruits, warm tea, and soft resin. The distinctive cantaloupe-melon nuance, often present in true rose absolutes, is apparent from the opening notes. To this is added a dewy, almost translucent, honeyed sweetness, below strains of magnolia, jasmine warmed by amber strains. It is opulent yet naturalistic and the combination gives the impression of sun-warmed petals after the rain... a rose with both lively brightness and antique depth.
For a lighter, very popular rose perfume, Pavlova. For a fruitier, layered mix of roses Sheean. Aroma Borealis is fruitier still, with jasmine and other white florals. If it is more a wild rose, amongst other forest flowers, then Elfin Glen provides rose amongst the bluebells. For a light, clean floral, Freesia is a soliflore, with freesias all the way down!
