Roses are truly special. I think each one of us has had roses given to us at some point in our lives. They were my mom's favorite flower. My grandfather had a huge rose garden as does my neighbor down the street. So I'm quite fond of this Wild Rose Solid Perfume. Definitely not perfumy or overpowering, it's subtle, lovely fragrance is beautiful. There is simply the rose; it is perfect in every moment of its existence.  —Ralph Waldo Emerson. **PLEASE NOTE: if you like your fragrance strong, this solid perfume probably isn't for you and you would be better served by a liquid perfume. This a more of a subtle, personal fragrance. Also, please see photos and general information for the size of the tin. It is a compact size. I mix the rose fragrance with a combination of sweet almond oil or jojoba oil, organic shea butter, organic beeswax, and Vitamin E oil, so it not only smells good, but it provides nourishing ingredients to your skin. Then I package it in a conveniently sized tin that fits in a small pocket of your purse or in your make up bag. Solid perfumes aren't something new. The ancient Romans and Egyptians used to use them for scents and/or healing properties. Europeans carried them around in fancy lockets. So I feel like I'm in good company.
