doomsday_disco Report post Posted May 12 Roses have been woven into magic and folklore for thousands of years, and this oil reaches past the lovely sweetness of petal and hip. In addition to the rose’s association with love and romance, the rose's spiritual depths encompass blood, rebirth, resurrection, and immortality. The root carries all of this in concentrated silence: love that is not fragile, love that has come back from the frost, love that grew itself back from the cold, shadowed death of winter. The rose is an emblem of Venus, deeply associated with love, passion, and friendship across cultures, but she is also sacred to Aphrodite, Isis, Hekate, Inanna, Ishtar — goddesses of the underworld as much as the bloom. She lives at the crossroads of beauty and power, and her thorns and roots have always been part of its power. An earthy, patchouli-touched rose oil with a hint of oakmoss and vetiver.

OxfordComma Report post Posted 15 hours ago Oh man, this is really pretty. The rose is bright and purely floral. It reminds me of a rose bath oil I had years ago. It's not Rose Red or Peacock Queen but more... Pink? Without being the lab's pink rose note. The patch is soft and fuzzy in a dusty earth way. The oak moss is the dry earthy-mossy variety, not cologney or soapy to me at all. Overall to me, this smells like dried floral arranging supplies and rose oil. I was fairly certain I would love this, and I do! I'm really enjoying this At The Root collection! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
