RAINWATER ROSE


Fresh Blooming Roses | A soliflore Eau de Toilette

 | 2023 | SEASONAL LIMITED BATCH

Delicate on the petals balance the softly landing raindrops. The early summer breeze carries the ocean on its fingertips, salting the heady rose scented air. My eyes can't see the farthest roses; they fill the landscape as far as I can see until the green becomes the sea and the sea becomes the sky. The straw of my mother's hat peeks through the thorny bushes, as we collect flower after flower.

Style: Floral, Soliflore

--------

The Personal, The Process, The Gathered

 

We pull just the petals, letting the center of the flower continue to feed the bees and become big red hips. Sand trickles into the sides of my sandals, and I cast a smile across the way to my mom, as her eyes sparkle with the unending love of our rose gathering ritual. I tuck a small pink shell into my pocket and continue to fill my canvas bag with perfect roses. The rain settles into my hair and softens my cheeks. The wet harvest fills a jar to become tincture. The rest wait patiently to be laid to dry. The ride home is intoxicating.

This Rose soliflore is a blend of the finest Rose Ottos and Rose absolutes from around the world, held in my artisan tinctured wild rose petals kissed by rainwater. There is a soft earthy accord to anchor and lift the roses for a little longer. This is a must-have for Rose perfume collectors and Rose obsessed gardeners. It showcases the fragrance of real roses with delicate glory.

This is an Eau de Toilette - which means the aromatics are a lesser strength than that of a perfume. It is ideal for summer misting - a bouquet of upliftment for any moment. It is NOT a face mist - please see my Roses and Aloe face tonic for that purpose.

A NOTE FROM THE PERFUMER

** Due to the fact that I - Gather perfume - use exclusively 100% natural materials, batch variance is to be expected. This is the same in any luxury, handcrafted art medium ( such as dance and opera) and agriculturally dependent arts such as viticulture, honey, or microbrewery. Gather perfumes are often limited editions for this reason, as well as the fact that some materials can only be obtained for small windows of time or no longer available at all. If you prefer uniformity in your fragrances, you may want to consider a more commercially available or mixed media brand. 

With Love,
Ananda

The Portland Rose Garden

To me, this smells like the Portland Rose Garden on a cold early summer morn when the dawn has not yet begun, and the earth is loamy and wet with last night’s rainfall. It captures the natural sweetness of beautiful true roses. It’s not powdery or jammy or dark. It’s like dew on the petals of a pink rose in the mist. Very faerie-like light rose. When I finished my 5 ml spray, I was so enamored with the bottle and etching, I repurposed it again for another essential oil perfume after cleaning it out. I love the sustainability in being able to do that as not every perfume bottle can be reused. My memories of Rainwater Rose stay sweet!

True Wild Roses

I grew up on a dairy farm in PA. We had wild rose bushes in the fields all over. This perfume smells exactly like wild roses. So you ask what is the difference between this and any other rose perfume? Well to my nose there is a big difference and it is this. Even w/ other natural rose perfumes they use damask rose which although beautiful it is powdery. Then they add citrus or tea to try to capture the green of a wild rose. Then they will add sandalwood or amber to try to capture the earthiness of a wild rose. It just doesn't work. While those notes and those perfumes are beautiful they just do not capture wild grown roses. It is still a cultivated tame rose scent. I have those and love them but Rainwater Rose captures wild uncultivated roses that grow free out in nature by oceans and in fields without the aid of man. The dry down is like having your skin covered in rose petals. This is truly beautiful natural heaven in a bottle.

Lush and beautiful

I'd been drawn to Rainwater Rose for a while but resisted because I was afraid it would be too light (I like darker, heavier fragrances). But I also LOVE everything rose, so I after loving everything I've ever ordered from Ananda, I decided to go for it. This is a beauiful, lush, juicy rose - fresh, vibrant - like being in a rose garden. I'm also pleased with the how long it lasts, especially for an eau de toilette.

Just like walking in a rose garden...peaceful and romantic...and it's beautiful layered with Basil... Feeling so lucky to have discovered Amanda's world of scented treasures!

Raindrops on roses...

What a refreshing scent! So incredibly soothing. As its name implies, Ananda has truly captured lush roses at the peak of bloom bejeweled with dew. If I close my eyes while wearing it, I feel like I am standing next to the rose bush in my mother’s yard in a soft rain. It also reminds me of the time I visited Pemaquid Beach in Maine and collected wild rose petals to press and send in letters to home. I originally hesitated to try it because it was an eau de toilette—I thought maybe it would be too soft or fade quickly (I’m a chypre and fougere sort of gal)-- I was wrong! I am so glad Ananda sent me a sample, it is now one of my favorites!
