# Roos & Roos: A Mother-Daughter Olfactory Symphony
## The History and Identity of Roos & Roos
Some brands start with a business plan, others with a heartfelt connection. Roos & Roos belongs to the latter. It is a story of two women, two generations, and two very different worlds coming together. Established originally in 2014 under the name "Dear Rose," the brand rebranded to Roos & Roos in 2018. This change was made to clearly assert the founders' identity. The house is led by a dynamic mother-daughter duo: Chantal Roos and Alexandra Roos.
Chantal is a true heavy hitter in the fragrance industry. For decades, she worked behind the scenes creating hits for big fashion houses. If you know YSL's Opium or Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Mâle, you know her work. Roos & Roos marks the first time she placed her own name on a bottle. Her daughter, Alexandra, comes from a different background entirely. She is a musician and composer in the French music scene. She brings a modern, lyrical, and slightly rebellious spirit to the table. This partnership creates a unique balance. It mixes the "Old World" expertise of the mother with the "New World" freedom of the daughter. They view perfume through the lens of music. To them, notes and accords in a scent are like notes in a song. Based in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, they create scents that celebrate female empowerment and Parisian chic.
