A rose that radiates only the most classic, the most elegant and the most understated forms of beauty.
Leonora transports you to Paris. Full of poise and grace, she is chic and perfectly tailored adding effortless style to your space. The combination of her ivory palette and cupped form carry an haute couture character.
Gathered into a vase, one glance at a Leonora arrangement and your mind is transported to the ateliers of Chanel, Dior and Lanvin.
Quiet and demure as she is, Leonora has a spectacularly strong nature too. Her vase life is enduring and her flower consistency dependable – not quite an everlasting beauty but close.
From closed bud to cupped form, it is when Leonora’s bloom is half to three-quarters open that she is at the epitome of couture tailoring. Days later, she will evolve further, allowing her blooms to open fully and her petals to ease. This is when her more informal character steps forward but never losing her innate sense of elegance and style. At this stage, think of her as that friend who wears jeans, cashmere and ballet flats and yet still somehow looks red carpet worthy.
Overall, ivory but most evident when her bloom is closed is Leonora’s fuller palette of cream and buttermilk. Her petals are almost luminous, reflecting her sense of quiet luxury and subtle sophistication.
Whilst subtle, each bloom is unique which is part of Leonora’s arresting beauty.
Notes of soft stone fruits are a constant such as apricot and ripe peach, and as she opens and her stamens become more prominent, lemon and honey come forward.
With Leonora, nothing is overdone. She is that person with a wardrobe to envy and a sense of sophistication that most desire but can rarely create. She is understated, she is elegant, she is timeless through and through.
