Each year perfumer Laurie Stern creates a limited collection of liquid perfume using some of the rarest, most expensive ingredients in the world. Because these ingredients are so rarely attainable, these perfumes are like wines of an exceptional vintage – their scent is unique to the time and place each blossom was harvested.
Velvet & Sweet Pea's Purrfumery is delighted to present our newest opulent, intoxicating creation:
Bed of Roses
A bed of a thousand roses blooms in this gorgeously voluptuous bouquet of scent. Reclining on an accord of nine exceptional rose distillations from all corners of the globe, cushioned by deep aged sandalwood and rich cognac with accents of tuberose, boronia, orange blossom, and green mandarin, Bed of Roses is crowned by a canopy of precious rose leaf absolute, a rare and incomparable material from the history of perfume, seldom made today.

We dedicate Bed of Roses to Raphaella Barkley, an avid rose perfume lover and founder and Editor-in-Chief of Sniffapalooza Magazine.
Laurie nestles each 8 and 15 ml Brosse crystal flacon of Bed of Roses in an opulent silk pouch she designed. For her 30 ml bottles, she has adorned deliciously soft, silk velvet pouches with semi-precious jewel beadwork.
Bed of Roses is more than a perfume – it is a work of art you will treasure.

Pure gardenia – one of perfumery’s rarest and most costly scents. Sultry yet ethereal, this perfume captures the arresting, unmistakable scent of fresh gardenia. A heavenly, transporting fragrance, and a true treasure among perfumes.
Gardenia makes a beautiful gift, bottled in an elegant Brosse crystal stopper bottle and tucked into an enchanting dupioni silk purse with its own Victorian scent card.

This blend captures the romance of the first blooms of spring, weaving rare spring-blooming jonquille (Narcissus poeticus) and French violets with green limes and mandarins. Iris bulbs and osmanthus from the valley of osmanthus in China imbue this perfume with spring’s promise of the future as the earth comes to life once more.
Narcissus makes a beautiful gift, bottled in an elegant Brosse crystal stopper bottle and tucked into an enchanting dupioni silk purse with its own Victorian scent card.


Find yourself in a sun-dappled forest of majestic emerald towers
with this earthy scent for men and women that combines the redolent richness of the deep woods with the mouth-watering, raspberry-jam juiciness of fir absolute. Never sharp or astringent, real conifer absolutes and essential oils have a sweet warmth that Fir-ever Young fans have described as delectable, luscious, passionate, expansive, and even spiritual.
A whole forest of Douglas fir, silver fir, grand fir, blue spruce, juniper, and more are joined by green and fruity florals, juicy citruses and black currants, with frankincense and agarwood for just a hint of smoke.
Fir-ever Young is planted firmly in a base of pineapple sage, fir, lavender, rose, agarwood, and frankincense house-infused alcohols.
In celebration of finding the perfect name for our newest perfume, we will be offering 5 ml bottles of Fir-ever Young for only $45.
