CB I Hate Perfume Tea/ Rose is the antithesis to everything you thought you knew about a rose perfume. Christopher Brosius invites you to try a real rose perfume, a scent that is more complex, & more resounding than the synthetic floral scents that saturate the fragrance market.

' Wonderful!' they say when they've sniffed. ' Really beautiful! What flower is it??'' Rose. Pure authentic real live absolute rose' I tell them with a bit of a grin as I watch the look of astonishment bloom on their faces. Talk about a reality check...'
- Christopher Brosius. Nothing quite matches the scent of a real rose, & when married with the aromatic & smoky scent of Indian black tea, CB I Hate Perfume Tea/ Rose is made unforgettable. The scent I composed this classic scent with real tea (Indian black) & real Moroccan rose absolute (Rosa Damascena). What could be more simple or elegant...?

CB I Hate Perfume founder Christopher Brosius remembers sitting alone at night in a field in December, a night when he was much younger. There were no tracks in the fresh snow other than his own & no sound but his own breath.
