Every now and then, something truly special finds its way to Fearrington—and this season, it arrived in the form of perfume.

I was first introduced to Rose et Marius by my friend and journalist Jenn Rice during her visit with us this past December. Over a cocktail at the Fearrington Bar, I was telling her of my plans to expand the Spa Boutique and how I was looking for unique items! She handed me a  little bottle that she took from her purse and with a twinkle in her eye and said, “Trust me, you need to try this.” Of course, she was right! The next day, on a whim, I contacted the company directly to see if we could import their perfumes and they were delighted to work with us!

Rose et Marius is a boutique fragrance house based in Aix-en-Provence, and their scents are a love letter to the South of France. Crafted using the finest ingredients from the world of haute parfumerie, each fragrance is inspired by memories, moments, and landscapes of Provence. You know I’m all about thoughtful details—and this line delivers them in spades.

My personal favorite at the moment? “ Un Vin Rosé sous la Tonnelle” or “A Rosé Wine under the Arbor” – a gorgeous scent that captures the essence of a warm summer lunch under a vine-draped pergola. With notes of wild strawberry, bergamot, and a soft touch of cedarwood and sandalwood, it’s fresh, elegant, and quietly unforgettable.

We now carry a beautiful selection of their fragrances at Haven, the Spa Boutique: full-size bottles for your vanity, travel sprays for your weekender, and solid perfumes perfect for your purse. And don’t miss their gorgeous boxed guest soaps—individually wrapped gems that make the loveliest hostess gifts (or a treat for yourself). For those seeking an a unisex option, “Une Flânerie Sous L’Oratoire” or “A stroll beneath the Oratory” offers a sophisticated blend of incense, mimosa, and rosewood, creating a scent that’s both fresh and mysterious.

Come by, take a stroll through the shops, and let us introduce you to Rose et Marius. Who knows? You might just find your new signature scent.
