About the Maker

My name is Andrea, and I am the hands, eyes, and heart behind La Evarose.

I live in rural Australia, where the air is sharp in winter, the summers are bright, and the seasons still have a clear rhythm. It is here, among seedlings, old-world roses, jars of slowly infusing oils and cooling beeswax, that La Evarose was quietly built.

From Soap and Candles to Skin

Before La Evarose, I spent years making soaps and beeswax candles. I learned how ingredients behave in the hand, how scent can change a room, and how people respond to objects that have clearly been made by a real person, not a factory.

Over time, I felt called to work closer to the plants themselves — to grow my own botanicals, distil my own hydrosols, and create skincare that begins in the soil, not on a spreadsheet.

La Evarose is that shift. It is where my love for making, my garden, and my desire to create something rare and deeply felt all meet.

Why Roses

Roses have always felt like more than flowers to me. They are emotional, old, and wise. When I began planting heritage varieties — Rugosas, Damasks, Bourbons, and old-world roses — something clicked.

These roses are not generic rose fragrance. They each have their own character, their own history, their own medicine. Some are better for hydrosols, some for oil, some for pigments, some simply for the way they make you feel when you walk past them in the garden.

La Evarose was born out of this relationship: one woman, a small garden, and a growing collection of roses that deserve to be used with respect and care.

Who I Make For

I make for women who want more than “just another product” — women who are drawn to small-batch craft, who care about what touches their skin, and who are ready for something slower and more considered.

Many of the women I think of as I work are over 35. They have lived a little. Their skin has stories. They want care that feels grounding and beautiful, not rushed or trend-driven.

My aim is simple: to create pieces that make them feel held, seen, and gently nourished — without noise, hype, or overwhelm.

How I Work

I work alone, slowly, in small quantities. I:

• grow or source botanicals with intention
• harvest by hand in the early hours
• distil hydrosols in a copper still in limited runs
• infuse oils over many weeks at low, steady warmth
• blend, pour, and label each batch myself

There are no production lines here. Each product passes through my hands multiple times before it reaches yours. If there are only ten bottles of something, it is simply because that is how much the garden gave.

What Matters to Me

La Evarose is guided by a few quiet but firm values:

• Seed to skin: whenever possible, I grow the plants myself.
• Slowness: infusions and distillations take the time they need.
• Rarity: small runs, limited releases, numbered bottles.
• Honesty: I do not pretend to be bigger than I am.
• Care: for the plants, for the land, and for the women who use what I make.

Inside the Atelier

The atelier is not a grand building. It is a working space filled with practical beauty: shelves of amber glass, copper, linen labels, baskets of dried petals, jars of steeping oil, and beeswax waiting to be warmed.

This is where garden and craft meet — where roses, herbs, and wax are slowly turned into hydrosols, oils, balms, and candles. Every mark of the hand is visible if you look closely: a slightly irregular pour, a handwritten batch number, a small variation between bottles.

A Quiet Invitation

La Evarose is not about having everything, all at once. It is about choosing a few pieces that feel right for the season you are in — and letting them become part of your daily rituals.

If you decide to bring something from this atelier into your home or onto your skin, know that it began in a real garden, was made by one pair of hands, and was never rushed.

That is the promise I can make.
