For the month of February our Patreon members chose the tragic Tudor Queen; Lady Jane Grey.
Queen for just nine days we wanted to capture some rest bite she may have had during those turbulent days and have chosen to represent a turn about the Queen's Garden in the Tower of London.
With top notes of damascan rose, field hawthorn and bergamot, along with a prominent heart of violet, geranium and ylang-ylang and a steady base of oakmoss, powdery amber, sandal and cedarwood.
Rose to represent Jane's Tudor heritage and Hawthorn for her interest in the classics and Plato.

Scent History
Scent History
Rose:
Roses have held enduring significance throughout history. In ancient civilizations like Egypt and Greece, they symbolized love and beauty, often used in perfumes and associated with deities like Aphrodite and Venus. Romans extensively cultivated roses for ornamental and religious purposes. Medieval Europe saw roses as emblems of royal houses, notably in the "War of the Roses" between Lancaster (red rose) and York (white rose). Rose cultivation continued to evolve in the Renaissance, resulting in the diverse rose varieties we have today, including tea roses and hybrid perpetuals in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Hawthorn:
Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.), a small tree or shrub native to temperate regions of Europe, Asia, and North America, has a rich history spanning medicine, folklore, and symbolism. Used by ancient civilizations for its medicinal and protective properties, hawthorn was highly valued by the Greeks and Romans, who associated it with health and fertility. Greek physician Dioscorides documented its use for treating heart ailments, a practice that continued through the centuries. In Celtic and medieval European traditions, hawthorn was considered sacred, often linked to fairies and magical protection. It was commonly planted near homes to ward off evil spirits and misfortune, though bringing its blossoms indoors was often seen as bad luck.
During the Middle Ages, hawthorn gained prominence in herbal medicine, particularly for treating digestive issues, kidney problems, and heart conditions. By the 19th century, its cardiovascular benefits were scientifically recognized, and it became a key remedy for heart disease, high blood pressure, and circulation problems. Traditionally used in teas, tinctures, and tonics, hawthorn remains an important herb in modern natural medicine. Beyond its medicinal value, hawthorn has been a symbol of love, hope, and protection throughout history, and its hardy, thorny nature reflects its role as both a healer and a guardian in folklore and herbal tradition.
