Owner, Jane Langdon, started her business because her favorite Crabtree & Evelyn perfume was discontinued and she couldn’t find another. After studying chemistry and being schooled in perfumery, she mixed her own. Soon after, people began to ask her what she was wearing and House of Rose began as an internet business with one rose perfume. E mail poured in asking her to make other floral perfumes and they now offer many others including Azalea, Carnation, Freesia, Gardenia, Honeysuckle, Hydrangea, Lavender, Lilac, Lily of the Valley, Magnolia, Orchid, and Violet.
