Bed of Roses

Bed of Roses by Velvet & Sweet Pea’s Purrfumery is a Floral fragrance for women. Bed of Roses was launched in 2010. The nose behind this fragrance is Laurie Stern. Top notes are African Orange Flower, Tuberose, Mandarin Orange and Boronia; middle notes are Rose and Taif Rose; base notes are Mexican chocolate, Cognac and Sandalwood. Stern followed a unique process to create Bed of Roses that combines the practices from ancient times and the modern era with her own innovative techniques. She started with a selection of nine rare rose materials that included Rose de Mai from Grasse, France; Indian roses from the Himalayas; and Damask Rose Otto from the Valley of the Roses in Bulgaria. She also located Persian and Moroccan roses and an exquisite Rose Alba extraction from Bulgaria. Stern then blended these distinct rose materials to create an accord that formed a harmonious and opulent new rose scent. Stern cushioned her sumptuous rose accord with aged sandalwood, dark chocolate and rich cognac, and included accents of tuberose, boronia, orange blossom and green mandarin. She crowned Bed of Roses with a canopy of precious rose leaf absolute, a rare and incomparable material from the history of perfume, seldom made today.
