Twelve years ago, Valley of Roses opened its doors in the heart of Kilkenny - a small Irish business built on a love of fragrance, a belief in quality, and a passion for helping people find their perfect scent. Over those twelve years, you found us, you shared us with friends and family, and you helped us grow into something we are truly proud of.
Last year, that journey reached a beautiful new milestone.
A year ago, we unlocked the doors to our dream at 5 Rose Inn Street.
We had shelves to fill, bottles to line up and big hopes for what this little shop could become. But the truth is, a beautiful shop is just four walls until people fill it with life.
You did.
Over the last year you've laughed with us, shared your stories, trusted us to help you find your wedding perfume, your everyday favourite, the scent that reminds you of someone you love, or simply a fragrance that makes you feel like yourself again.
Some of you visit every few weeks. Some found us while exploring Kilkenny. Others have never stepped inside our shop, yet you've supported us from your homes all across Europe.
Every single order, every recommendation, every kind message, every review, every smile as you walk through our door has meant more than you could ever know.
Behind Valley of Roses is a small team that celebrates every order, wraps every parcel with care and genuinely smiles every time we see familiar faces walk through the door. We don't take any of it for granted.
There have been long days, late nights and moments when we questioned ourselves. But then one of you would walk in, tell us how much you loved your perfume, hug a member of our team, or bring a friend to discover us. Those moments reminded us exactly why we started.
From the bottom of my heart...
Thank you.
Thank you for believing in a small independent Irish business.
Thank you for believing in me.
This shop isn't just ours anymore.
It's yours too.
Thank you for making the last year more beautiful than we ever imagined.
Have a favourite memory with Valley of Roses? We'd love to hear it - leave us a review or tag us on Instagram.
With all my love and gratitude,
Andriana
