The Brand
The brand “About Rose” was designed to embody the style of the famous Josephine de Beauharnais, formerly known as the Rose of Martinique. Empress of France, her beauty and elegance made her one of the most famous women of the end of the 18e century.
Josephine led a rich and intense life surrounded by love, marked by her marriage to Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of France.
She lived most of her life in the Château de la Malmaison not far from Paris.
It was in this property that she developed her love and passion for interior design, her botantical gardens and especially rare flowers.
Her knowledge of botany and horticulture enabled her to design magnificent gardens bringing together more than 250 varieties of roses from all over the world.
Our Company
Created and Formulated in France.
The About Rose boutique was created by HD Fragrances, designer and manufacturer of cosmetics collections previously available exclusively in luxury and boutique hotels since 2009.
HD Fragrances was the first to offer solid multi functional shampoos for hotels and since then we have been increasingly turning to natural and eco-responsible cosmetics.
Today, we aim to combine our know-how in the “High French perfumery” while preserving the environment.
Our products already very appreciated by hotels, we wanted to make them available for home purchase as well.
