This new rose signature is created by molecular distillation of two roses in a 50/50 ratio using specific conditions with minimal heat to preserve the integrity of the fragile flowers. These roses are harvested with ethical sourcing practices as well as eco-friendly care. The ROSE-ON-ROSE co-distillation produces a new territory of “fresh-picked rose potency” for the most ancient of all flowers in perfumery – the noble rose. It has excellent flow and kept me involved throughout – I could hardly bear to put it down.ĭefinitely one of the best reads so far this year.The ROSE-ON-ROSE co-distillation method is an original creation of Tom Ford. The story is full of intrigue and suspense and well as wonderful, well-written characters with realistic dialogue and down-to-earth attitudes – these people have very real problems and have to find solutions to fir the situations. I’m not sure what I was expecting from this novel except a little romance in an historical setting, but what I got was much, much more: Take a young couple from poor families with big dreams, add family tragedy that sets them on a downward spiral, separate them, introduce a pinch of betrayal and set it all in Whitechapel during the terrifying reign of the infamous Jack the Ripper and you’ve got a heart-stopping combination! Making her way back to the streets of her impoverished childhood, Fiona must start her fight again.
Convinced that her father was murdered by his brutal employer, Fiona vows to seek revenge and ruin him once and for all. After years of hard work, she establishes herself as the head of her own powerful tea empire. Slowly, she builds his small grocery shop into a thriving tea house, and her new life flourishes. Devastated, her life in tatters, Fiona flees to New York where she sets up home with her alcoholic uncle. But one by one her dreams fall apart as her father is killed in a dock accident, Joe is seduced by another woman, and her mother is viciously murdered - a suspected victim of Jack, the Ripper. With the love of her life, Joe Bristow, she dreams of escaping the poverty and opening her own tea shop. She longs to break free from the squalid lanes and alleys of Whitechapel, where she has a job in a tea factory. Fiona Finnegan is the spirited, ambitious daughter of an Irish dock worker. Set in Whitechapel in 1888, The Tea Rose is a tale of a love lost and won, of a family's destruction, of murder and revenge - and one young woman's quest to escape the poverty of her childhood and make her fortune in the tea trade.
