My younger sister and I have completely different tastes. She paints her own press-on nails; I like mine bare. She’s five-foot-seven and loves Demonia boots; I’m (almost) five-foot-four and live in my Tabis. She loves smoky eyes; I’ve given up mascara. You get the picture. But one thing we’ve agreed on for years is By/ Rosie Jane’s Rosie: a rose-infused musky fragrance that’s soft and powdery and warm, like snuggling with a loved one in a bed made with fresh sheets. So you can imagine our excitement when I got to pry into the mind and beauty routine of Rosie Johnston, the Australian perfumer behind her namesake brand.
