“You're beautiful, but you're empty...One couldn't die for you.
Of course, an ordinary passer-by would think my rose looked just like you.
But my rose, all on her own, is more important than all of you together,
since she's the one I've watered.
Since she's the one I put under glass,
since she's the one I sheltered behind the screen.
Since she's the one for whom I killed the caterpillars (except the two or three butterflies).
Since she's the one I listened to when she complained,
or when she boasted,
or even sometimes when she said nothing at all.
Since she's my rose.”
-Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, fromThe Little Prince
Valentine's Day being just around the corner, I would like to start with this beautiful piece about roses and love. Today it is about a beautiful fragrance just for your rose, be it your mother, lover, sister or yourself. Jo Malone London Red Roses Cologne puts a large bouquet of red roses in a bottle.
