1981 at ROSE the Store: Last Call for Christmas

  • December 20, 2025

We were in the area, so we did what felt right - we stopped by to see the team at ROSE the Store.

It was a chance to say hello properly, catch up in person, and jump on socials to talk a little about 1981 - how the fragrances are built, how to wear them, and why we believe scent should feel personal, playful and never too serious.

Spending time in store is always a reminder of why we love what we do. Meeting customers, answering questions, watching people sniff, pause, and find the one that clicks - those moments never get old.

A big thank you to the ROSE the Store team for the warm welcome, and to everyone who stopped by for a chat. If you’re in Westbourne, Bournemouth, it’s well worth popping in and spending some time with the collection.

John (and Patsy, who insists every stop counts as a road trip) 🐾
