Aromatic Note
Rich. Velvety. Deep floral with hints of honey, greens, and spice.
This is not a light, romantic rose—it is the rose of maturity, dignity, and magnetic power. It speaks not of infatuation but of authority. There is light in it—but also shadow.
What the scent brings to light in the subconscious
Pride, arrogance, and contempt for the 'weaker'.
Rose brings forth the shadow side of beauty, superiority, and self-exaltation. This aroma aligns with the archetype of the Anakim—ancient giants who became proud of their height and strength. It stirs beliefs like 'I am above', 'no one is worthy of me', or 'I need no one'. These create isolation masked as majesty.
Emotional & Psychological Impact
It helps reveal where outer greatness hides inner vulnerability. It gently dissolves the armor of superiority and restores the ability to feel, care, and be connected. Especially helpful for those who fear emotional dependency and see tenderness as weakness.
Cultural Roots & Traditional Use
Rose has long been seen as the queen of flowers, a symbol of divine love and beauty. In Sufi tradition, it represents the heart and the journey to the Source. In Jewish mysticism, it relates to Shekhinah—the Divine Presence. But the rose is also a trial: beauty can obscure the heart if it becomes the goal itself.
Blend Compatibility
Blends well with frankincense, sandalwood, jasmine, neroli, orris, myrrh, cedarwood, patchouli, and bergamot.
