"2007's PERFUME 'LAUNCH' PARTY": with Celebrations and Samplings at 11 & 2.
Join us on September 30th for our "Launch" Party with THREE special attractions ---- (1) presentation of our 2008 “ROSE EMBRACE” Eau de Toilette fragrance, (2) Rose Sparkler champaign sampling and (3) the North Coast's only ATOMIZER MUSEUM.
Enjoy our wandering and friendly maidens baring “Rose Embrace” fragrance samples and also serving our famous "Rose Sparkler" champagne.
Our “Rose Embrace” Eau de Toilette is made with a unique blend of French, Bulgarian and Persian rose oils produced here in our rose fields. The rose oil has been aging since May to achieve its most heavenly & complex scent, and we produce only 240 bottles of finished fragrance a year. This aged oil is all natural and grown on our ranch (free of pesticide or fungicide sprays). and it has a subtle and delicious scent without any heavy overtones. One customer said she prefers this scent because it's naturally wonderful and is "just simply unique, there's nothing like it".
The "Rose Sparkler" is champagne (non-alcoholic for this event) infused with a few drops of our rose water that adds a magical and romantic character. A real gourmet treat, don't miss it.
As if that's not enough also visit our NEW "Museum of Purse Atomizers" with lovely antique atomizers that date from the 1890's to 1960's. Famous atomizer designers, such as DeVilbiss, Marcel Franck, Ann Upton, etc are included.
BOTH of these spectacular events are scheduled for 11 am and 2 pm. And, they are FREE. In any event you can attend our 2007 PERFUME LAUNCH just for fun or you can reserve your "Rose Embrace" or the estate grown Rosewater for pick-up starting September 30th by clicking on
