WELCOME TO ROAN
Roots of a Nomad creates tea fragrances for the modern-day nomad! Life is a journey. and in this modern world, we are constantly on the move, whether that’s a journey of the mind, or a journey out in the physical world.
To make each frontier our home, we must take the time to enjoy the path we have taken and achieve balance while on the go. Ultimately, the places, the people, and the cultures we encounter along the way become the foundation and the roots of who we are and who we will become.
Embrace the nomadic spirit within. Be reminded of the power of your unique narrative.
Founded lovingly by Helen Lee.
FOUNDER
Hi! I’m Helen and I am the founder of ROAN Fragrances. Roots of a Nomad is a celebration of the deep bond we feel when we allow ourselves to wander and to connect with the world around us.
In this modern day, it feels like we are always on the move. Based in New York, ROAN leverages the beautiful profound relationship between scent and mind to bring us a moment of oasis and connectedness in our fast-paced lives.
For me, this spirit translates to scent through the beautiful note of tea. As a devoted tea enthusiast, with a personal collection in the triple digits, I always looked to teas as a way to reflect, connect, and bookmark my personal journey! And it never ceases to amaze me how many unique characteristics can be derived from a singular tea leaf. And so, through Roots of a Nomad, I hope to share that tea is not at all a niche fragrance note. It’s bold. It’s diverse, and it’s limitless!
EMBRACING TEA AS A HERO NOTE
We were inspired by how since the beginning, communities around the world created infusions with the bounty of the land around them and shared these wonderful creations with each other.
Therefore, these diverse notes are not only a self-reflection of our joint global heritage, but a bookmark of all of the connections in our shared world.
