WELCOME TO ROAN
We create fine fragrances that celebrate the nomadic spirit within all of us. Each Roots of a Nomad fragrance marks the diverse paths we’ve traveled and the moments that define us.
Our fragrance compositions are designed to be poetic depictions of the energy, mood, and vibe of different places, but they are not meant to be literal. It’s ultimately your memories, your interpretation, and your connection that gives each scent its purpose and its meaning.
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 to the world – the places, the people, and the cultures we encounter in our journey everyday ultimately shapes who we are and who we will become.
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 for teas to bookmark the places I’ve been privileged to visit. 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 help transport us to all the beautiful places where tea is grown, brewed, and loved.
