Bessie

Bessie: A Rose of Gentle Indulgence

Bessie opens like a story unfolding, her ivory buds quickly deepening into cupped blooms with a heart of warm apricot. As her petals relax, she softens into a rosette form, her colours fading to buttery cream touched with hints of caramel, always framed by her signature halo of ivory. Her light-to-medium fragrance blends tea with whispers of myrrh, completing her charm. Bessie is a rose that feels like life’s sweetest luxuries, clotted cream, pearls, silk ribbons, and soft, billowy pillows.
