From Rosa to the Rose
The story of the Queen of Flowers |
| |
|
| |
Rosa is one of the most ancient flowers. No other flower has such a wide range of sizes, colors, shapes and textures.
First, we will explore its complex genealogy to better understand how and why the flower has evolved. You will learn about “Wild Roses”, “Old Garden Roses”, “Modern Roses” and discover how both nature and men have contributed to such a wide variety of species. I will tell you about my favorite gardens to discover ancient and new species; these heavens of peace designed by talented gardeners might inspire you to create your own!
We will then focus on two specific roses cultivated for their unique fragrance: Rosa Damascena and Rosa Centifolia. You will learn about their history, their specificities and discover the famous Rose Valleys where they are cultivated in France, Bulgaria, Turkey and Morocco. I will explain how roses are processed to obtain rose essential oil and absolute and tell you about the Sulékó language of scents and the messages conveyed by the rose. As you discover our Vy Roza Eau de Parfum you will see how rose essence comes into play in a perfume to narrate a story and to reflect the state of mind of a person.
Let’s dive into the world of roses and find out what is a known fact and what is still left to uncover about the Queen of Flowers, which has been fascinating painters, poets, doctors, gardeners, chemists, botanists, perfumers and chefs for centuries… |

 Anastasia’s Bio
Anastasia discovered the world of perfume when she joined the Yves Saint Laurent Beaute? marketing team in New York. She then fully immersed herself into this universe, learning about the history of perfume, studying the great masterpieces of French Haute Parfumerie preserved by the Osmothe?que Conservatory of Perfume and following high level trainings on scent ingredients and fragrance composition at ISIPCA (the French school of perfumers). She then decided to launch Sule?ko?, a Perfume House reuniting Perfume and French Artistic
Craftsmanship. Her creations were featured in Forbes, FT, Vogue...
Anastasia also teaches the Sulékó language of scents through live and online classes.
With this concept of language of scents Anastasia seeks to help you understand what a perfume really is about and how to better identify a fragrance which fits your mood and your feelings. She believes that a fragrance is not a mere commercial product, that it speaks of us, that it reveals our story, that it interacts with us and accompanies us in our life. She wishes the search for a perfume to be an experience that awakens the senses and incites a feeling of rediscovering oneself.
With Sulékó’s masterclasses and Scented Treks, she wishes to unlock the world of scents for anyone wishing to explore.
“The world of scents is fabulous and mysterious. It brought a lot of joy into my life. I now wish to share my knowledge and my passion with you and invite you to experience the joy of exploring the world around you with your sense of smell!”
Anastasia Sokolow.
