Rose Petal Powder

How to Create a Scent That Lasts

Some scents don't smell - they're remembered. You pass by a flowering bush and for a second it's like a mark is left on your wrist.

This is what rose powder smells like. But not the kind that comes in a bottle, but the kind you make yourself - from petals picked in the morning, dried in the shade, crushed in silence.

I make such powder from damask rose or garden tea rose - only when the flowers smell not brightly, but deeply. When they do not call, but remain.

It's not a product. It's a touch. I apply it:

• on the collar of a shirt

• in the elbow

• on the pillow

• sometimes I just leave it in a paper envelope between the pages

How I make powder:

You need:

• Rose petals (fresh, fragrant, no chemicals)

• A little dried orris root (or rice powder for texture)

• Mortar or coffee grinder

• Glass or paper jar

🔄 Method:

1. Dry the petals in the shade, without overdrying them.

2. Grind into powder (preferably with a mortar, slowly)

3. Add 5-10% iris powder or rice powder

4. Stir and leave in a closed jar for 2-3 days.

5. Use it intuitively - it's not cosmetics, it's a gesture

Sometimes I give it as a gift. In a craft envelope tied with a ribbon. Without a signature. Because everyone finds what they hear in it.

Rose powder is a way to stay. Even when you are no longer in the room.
