‘Would you tell me,’ said Alice, a little timidly, ‘why you are painting those roses?’
Five and Seven said nothing, but looked at Two. Two began in a low voice, ‘Why the fact is, you see, Miss, this here ought to have been a red rose-tree, and we put a white one in by mistake; and if the Queen was to find it out, we should all have our heads cut off, you know. So you see, Miss, we’re doing our best, afore she comes, to–’
A huge bouquet of squished rose petals: Bulgarian rose, Somalian rose, Turkish rose, Damascus rose, red and white rose, tea rose, wine rose, shrub roses, rose, rose, rose…
…and just an itty bitty bit of green grass.

Eve Perfume Oil
Out of StockEve is eternal: in three-thousand years, she has likely traveled the length and breadth of the world, immersed in innumerable cultures throughout the ages, observing the ebb and flow of humanity and the imperishability of nature itself. Despite her age, she is the character that seems most rooted, always experiencing each moment with open eyes, always fully present.
Her scent is one that travels through the eons: the Irish moss, yarrow, and hawthorn of the Iron Age Britons, ancient Rome’s omphacium and honey, myrrh and calamus from Egypt, the frankincense and damask roses of the Florentine Renaissance, white sandalwood from the Far East, Moroccan saffron and rose water, and a swirl of incense from the souks.

Bess Perfume Oil
Select OptionsI grieve and dare not show my discontent,
I love and yet am forced to seem to hate,
I do, yet dare not say I ever meant,
I seem stark mute but inwardly do prate.
I am and not, I freeze and yet am burned,
Since from myself another self I turned.
My care is like my shadow in the sun,
Follows me flying, flies when I pursue it,
Stands and lies by me, doth what I have done.
His too familiar care doth make me rue it.
No means I find to rid him from my breast,
Till by the end of things it be supprest.
Some gentler passion slide into my mind,
For I am soft and made of melting snow;
Or be more cruel, love, and so be kind.
Let me or float or sink, be high or low.
Or let me live with some more sweet content,
Or die and so forget what love ere meant.Inspired by the tragic, ill-fated love of Queen Elizabeth I and the Earl of Leicester. This is our modernization of a 17th-century perfume blend favored by British aristocracy: rosemary, orange flower, grape spirit, five rose variants, lemon peel, and mint.

The Rose Perfume Oil
Select OptionsWhen they found that their father must take a journey to the ship, the two eldest begged he would not fail to bring them back some new gowns, caps, rings, and all sorts of trinkets. But Beauty asked for nothing; for she thought in herself that all the ship was worth would hardly buy everything her sisters wished for. “Beauty,” said the merchant, “how comes it that you ask for nothing: what can I bring you, my child?”
“Since you are so kind as to think of me, dear father,” she answered, “I should be glad if you would bring me a rose, for we have none in our garden.” Now Beauty did not indeed wish for a rose, nor anything else, but she only said this that she might not affront her sisters; otherwise they would have said she wanted her father to praise her for desiring nothing.
The promise of a rose: red rose petals, fresh sap, and the sharp green scent of stem and leaf.

This is probably my favorite GC rose. It’s a sweet, light rose, despite the multitude of different roses the blend boasts. It’s a summer sort of rose with a fresh, minty sort of greenness to it. It’s not perfumey or fussy like some “rose” products, and it seems ageless and timeless. I could see dabbing this on a rosy cheeked child or wearing it at 50 with a sun hat while you walk in the garden. In my brain, 2, 5, & 7 belongs in the same family as Hope, but is less sugary and more green. Well worth checking out for anyone looking for a good rose perfume.

This is my favorite perfume that I have bought in a while. Smelling it is like walking through a rose garden; it’s a very fresh and green scent while still feeling classic. It is very strong, so that can either be a positive or negative factor for some.

I bought the full bottle twice now. It’s a strong, floral smell, and will definitely give you a headache if you’re sensitive to that. I, personally, LOVE it. It reminds me of visiting my grandmother in her old, Victorian house. It makes me think of crushed velvet, powdered faces, crumpets, and lots of blush. A strong rose bouquet, not for the faint of heart.

It’s a rich, pungent rose smell that reminds me of old Victorian perfume. One of my favorite BPAL scents is Rose Red and it smells nothing like this. My Rose Red has a fresh green scent like a dewy red rose and leaves with so much fresh, airiness that you’ll swear it was just picked. This smells a little more like dried rose petals with an unmistakable headiness to it. If you get headaches from certain scents, avoid this one.

Well, it’s certainly rose.
I do find myself sniffing it again and again on my hand, but it’s just a little too much for me. I need my rose blended with something else.

BPAL has many wonderful rose scents, usually mixed with other complimentary scents, but this is my favorite. Not only is it pure rose, it is many different kinds of roses and the oil will morph through all of the different qualities of these roses as you wear it. There are light, creamy roses, deep sensual roses, sharp summer notes that are almost fruit notes, musky roses in a garden at night…you get the idea. This isn’t one flat scent; it goes many places but all within the boundary of the scents of different roses. It has a good throw but isn’t so strong that it takes over the room and it lasts a good six to eight hours. One of the best deals on rose scent that you are going to find.

I love this wonderful roseapalooza. I am very happy that it isn’t powdery or cloying. Very happy with this one, will be buying the full bottle.
