Smell-The-Roses-Till-Valentine's Day Challenge {Fragrance News} {Notebook: Rose}

Note: The Rose Challenge becomes a permanent feature as the Rose Notebook.

Dear Readers,

We are announcing a challenge for the next few weeks, the Smell-The-Roses-Till-Valentine's Day Challenge. Until Valentine's Day, we will cover a rose scent or edible or rose-related topic a day. Rose remains the "queen of flowers" and is one of the most popular floral perfume categories that exist. We want to celebrate its beauty and track down its most discussion-worthy incarnations. Hopefully in doing this, we can help you choose the perfect rose to offer as a gift on Valentine's Day or just invite you to dream about the beauty of roses! There will be feminine roses, masculine roses, roses to drink and roses to eat, pourquoi pas?

See you soon,
Marie-Helene
