“Humans need to learn the lesson of acceptance when things seem to go awry, know that this is only temporary, your flow of good is assured with acceptance, gratefulness, love and joy. - fairy quote”

“This was the hand of the fairy who had brought the magic of perfume into our world. Into the Rosebourne bloodline.
To capture the scent of the violet flower, I read, gather the following...
Of course— of course. Setting aside magic, the allure of the Rosebourne perfumes for today's society came principally from William Rosebourne's vision of layered scents, the balance and interplay of musk and flowers and fruit achieved by no other perfumery. He'd understood, long before his peers, the experience of perfume also included the aesthetic of its vessel— that he could convey a story through it, make it desirable and collectible, rather than force his customers to buy their perfume in simple apothecary bottles and transfer them to flasks at home.
But what the House of Rosebourne had originally been known for was its ability to capture the scent of mute flowers. Those delicate lovelies like violets, lilacs, and lilies of the valley that either refused to give up their natural scents or were too delicate to go through the extraction process necessary to distill them into oil.
I'd always thought that, perhaps, the Rosebournes had used magic to extract those fragrances, but no— if this precise formulation was any indication, they did what other perfumers attempted to do: re-create the scent of one flower using a precise blend of others. Fascinating.”
