Scent Seeking

I inherited a corked glass vial from my great-grandmother which still has remnants of its original tattered label reading “Attar of Rose”. The scent is still vivid & intoxicating with its origins from the fresh petals of Rosa Damascena. This fragrance led me on a journey to Syria to seek out the historical heavenly scent in the ancient spice markets of Damascus.

I have long dreamed of reimagining the scent and now it has been brought to life, housed in a beautiful crafted porcelain shield vessel with a hand-tinkered zinc lid. The vessel is made to be kept & used for jewellery, trinkets, loose change or secrets, and so it becomes the perfect gift that travels well and continues to give after its contents have long gone.

And a secret message is revealed as the wax becomes translucent!
