The Art of Intentional Living: Our Story

The Heritage

Flowers and Rosemary is more than a fragrance brand; it is an ode to the spaces and faces that shape us. Named in honor of my grandmothers, Dorothy Flowers and Rosemary Marshall, the brand is rooted in the rich, sensory tapestry of New Orleans. We believe that home is a feeling anchored in scent, and our mission is to curate the "scent narrative" of the lives lived within those walls.

​

The Craft

As a boutique fragrance house, we specialize in the art of small-batch manufacturing and bespoke formulation. Every scent in our library is hand-blended in our New Orleans studio, ensuring an "intelligent luxury" aesthetic that is both sophisticated and down-to-earth. We don't just create products; we formulate sensory experiences that bridge the gap between memory and modern living.

​

The Multidimensional Aesthetic

As a lifestyle photographer and artist, my work has always been about the interplay of light, texture, and composition. I believe that a home is a living gallery, and fragrance is the final, invisible layer of art. My background in visual storytelling allows me to approach scent through a unique lens, ensuring that every bottle and candle we produce not only smells exceptional but serves as a curated art piece within your interior. Whether I am capturing a space through a camera or a scent profile, my goal is the same: to document and enhance the beauty of intentional living.

The Vision

Led by founder and lead formulator WyShonda Elise, Flowers and Rosemary has evolved from a personal passion into a staple for the New Orleans business community. While we continue to offer our signature collections to individuals, we have expanded into Sensory Staging and Private Label Manufacturing. Today, we partner with luxury real estate groups, boutique hotels, and local businesses to develop signature scents that define their brand identity. By leveraging the science of scent, we help our partners create lasting emotional connections with their clients, one bottle at a time.

A Commitment to Community

Born in Uptown and built on the spirit of community, Flowers and Rosemary remains woman-owned and operated. Whether we are formulating a custom perfume for a storefront or scenting a historic Garden District home, our heart remains the same: ensuring that everyone has access to the peace, beauty, and luxury of a well-scented life.
