Rose Solifore Solid Perfume, Handmade In California

In a way, I’ve quietly grown up with these flower butters and as the artistic need arises in any perfumer, I’ve tweaked the formulas over the years. This last reformulation is likely my last, having done almost everything with the compositions I possibly could to elevate the perfume. Last summer, while in the thick of rugosa rose distillation heaven, it occurred to me that there was one upgrade left. I decided to macerate roses in the jojoba oil portion of the rose flower butter. I knew all three butters were going to need extra time due to flower seasonality but I felt this was a final revision to truly bring this line to a level of perfume legacy in my work.

Flowers butters were an accidental creation in my early natural perfumery years. I was living on the Canadian Gulf Islands, away from mainstream civilization and knee deep in formulation heaven. I was growing incredible herbs and experimenting in total freedom, making aromatic remedies, body care and working with essential oils in a clinical setting. Formula books were still sparse and natural perfume raw material even more so. I managed to import rose wax from one american company that was willing ship to Canada (the only one). I had it in my mind to make a rose scented lip gloss so luxurious and moisturizing that could withstand the cold wet winds often levied on the Gulf Island. The lip gloss didn’t meet my vision but I felt like there was something to my finished product. It revealed itself when a gorgeous rose scent drifted from my wrists from the excess lip gloss I had smeared. I felt the history of my antique perfume books come alive in that first accidental perfume just as I do every time I make a new batch of flower butter.

Rose perfume butter contains the best organic rose otto essential oil, absolute, concrete and floral wax we carry in the apothecary. Just as perfumers did for thousands of years, we use Ben oil as the carrier oil both for the extraordinarily long shelf life and as a nod to Nefertem. This Rose flower butter is soft and powerful. The tiniest smear on the wrist or soft part of the neck imparts all the craft I’ve put into the perfume. All the history too.

This is a beeswax free soliflore natural perfume with absolutely no synthetics or bio identical essential oils.

Size: 15 ml glass insert jar.
