Oil Perfume “Rose & Salt”.

Updated: Jul 5


ree

A scent you carry like memory

You step outside after a shower.Your skin still warm from the sun.There’s a flower stand nearby, the scent of jasmine in the air, dust on the road, and a quiet, slow rose that doesn't need to bloom fully to be noticed.

This perfume doesn't announce itself.It lingers — like salt on skin after the sea.You can make it yourself. Quietly. Gently. And without alcohol.

 Inspiration

Paralia Katerini, 7:10 PM.You walk barefoot from the beach. Your hair is damp, your shoulders smell like sunlight.There’s a scent on your wrists — not from Paris, but from a bottle you made at home.And it stays. Not because it’s strong. Because it’s real.

Recipe: Oil Perfume “Rose & Salt”

Base (5 ml):

  • 5 ml jojoba oil (neutral, absorbs well, long-lasting)

Essential oils:

  • 2 drops rose absolute (or high-quality rose essential oil)

  • 1 drop vetiver (warm earthiness, grounding)

  • 1 drop jasmine (soft sensuality, body warmth)

  • 1 drop bergamot (freshness, a light salt-air effect)

💡 Optional additions:1 drop sea lavender or ylang-ylang for more softness and floral balance

 How to make it:

  1. Pour the jojoba oil into a clean glass roller bottle (5 or 10 ml).

  2. Add the essential oils in order.

  3. Let it rest for 2–3 days in a cool, dark place (not the fridge).

  4. Before use, warm the bottle slightly between your palms.

How to wear it:
  • On wrists, behind the ears, over the collarbone

  • On the ends of your hair — via comb or fingertips

  • After a shower, on damp skin

  • Not to go out — but to come back to yourself

💭 Why it works

Oil-based perfumes don’t shout.They blend with your skin, your warmth, your breath.“Rose & Salt” isn’t a fragrance for attention — it’s one for memory.A trace of a place you’ve been. Or want to return to.

🎧 A small ritual:

Apply to your wrist.Breathe in. Close your eyes.Remember what heat feels like.Sea-damp shoulders. Stone balconies.And the way a rose smells at dusk.

📎 Closing

This isn’t a commercial scent.It’s a page from a personal notebook.A Greek street. A quiet evening. A hand that chose slowness over speed.
