From the mountains of the Levant and the deserts of Arabia to the ports of India, the highlands of Persia, and the silk roads of Asia, fragrance has always been a journey of civilizations.

The heritage of fragrance traveled with caravans, merchants, and mystics. It was carried through markets and courts, offered in temples and homes, and cherished as deeply as poetry itself. This profound tradition was used to move civilizations and to stir the soul.

This ancient tradition is not lost. It lives on in the hands of those who refuse to forget.

At Rumi & Rose, we carry this heritage forward, reviving the art of natural perfumery with patience, purity, and soul. Each fragrance is born from rare natural oils and botanicals, blended with care, and allowed the time to mature.

In every bottle rests not only a scent, but a memory of civilizations past, carried into the present.

Beneath the bark of the agarwood tree lies a hidden treasure. When time and nature mark its heartwood, resin begins to form, a living alchemy. From this sacred heart, two gifts are born: incense chips that glow into smoke, and oil distilled drop by drop, carrying the soul of the tree within it. At Rumi & Rose, we honor this journey from tree to flame, ensuring every ember and every note preserves both the mystery of the wild and the balance of the earth.

When agarwood meets fire, the ordinary becomes extraordinary. The chips darken, embers glow, and smoke curls upward like poetry. What was once hidden in the heart of a tree becomes a fragrance alive in the air; rich, warm, and unrepeatable. Each breath is not just aroma, but an awakening of memory and mood.

For centuries, incense has filled homes, gatherings, and sacred spaces, carrying with it presence and meaning. It has been more than scent; it is ritual, memory, and continuity. Every ember connects us to generations before us, and every wisp of smoke reminds us that fragrance was once the language of the soul. At Rumi & Rose, we preserve this tradition so it may continue to live on.

We believe incense should remain true to its origins: natural, potent, and timeless. That is why we carefully source agarwood chips from ethical and responsible growers, ensuring purity while protecting the forests and species that sustain it. This is our revival: incense preserved in its truest form, so that its rising smoke may continue to stir the soul.

Rumi & Rose was born from a longing to carry forward a tradition that felt in danger of being forgotten. In a world of synthetics and shortcuts, we wanted to return to nature’s depth, to a time when fragrance was both beauty and devotion. What began as a search for authenticity became a promise: to craft with care, to source with honesty, and to share a heritage of scent with those who refuse to forget.

Excellence and beauty are an inheritance to us from nature. If we commit to doing something, we do it with excellence and eloquence.

Excellence begins with purity. We source only natural oils and resins, crafting scents that remain as clean as they are soulful. No synthetics. No dyes. No harmful ingredients. Just ingredients from the Earth.
