If you're on the hunt for a a thoughtful gift for a loved one [1], the first thing that comes to mind is usually a gorgeous floral arrangement or chocolate. It's easy, dependable, and brightens up the home and the heart Floral arrangements [2] make any environment look elevated and fill the room with love and positivity. However, it only lasts about a week with proper care and consideration. I love admiring floral arrangements and even making my own from my mom's garden, but once they start to wilt and decompose, it's just a hot mess. Their short lifespan completely turned me off from investing in florals for the gifting season [3]; It's Venus Et Fleur [4] that disrupted the industry with its iconic Eternity Roses, which last at least a year long, and in my experience, even longer. The brand's Parisian-inspired boxes with gold lettering fill my Instagram feed, so I had to know more about it.

I got to test out an arrangement, and I was blown away by the craftsmanship and quality of these roses. With stunning colours, the right amount of bloom, and the divine scent [5], it's no surprise that they went viral and why nearly every celebrity and influencer gifted these gorgeous arrangements. It's the perfect centrepiece for a living room or dining room table. It's something that can elevate a vanity, side table, or bookshelf. Best of all, it's an elegant keepsake from a loved one that's beautiful, warm, and filled with appreciation. Keep reading for my in-depth review.

What are the Eternity Roses From Venus Et Fleur?

I was sceptical on whether the roses from Venus Et Fleur are actually real, and to my surprise, yes, they are! They are hand-picked from a rose farm in South America at the perfect bloom. The roses are treated and dipped in a thin wax layer to preserve them, instantly frozen in time. This process lets you customise the colour to something unique like gold, silver, a deep vibrant blue, or even a rainbow, and even preserve the scent. I chose to go with the Venus Et Fleur Small Round [7] ($299) arrangement and keep it classic with a white round box and red roses.

The Scent of the Venus Et Fleur Arrangement:

As soon as I opened the box to reveal my custom Venus Et Fleur Small Round [8] ($299) arrangement, I got an instant whiff of the divine rose scent. It's light and fresh yet has a concentrated and layered feel, like a perfume. The elevated scent fills a room up the first few days of arriving and being on display. By the end of the week, the room had a lingering rose scent. Around the second to the third week, I would get a quick whiff of the fresh scent if I passed by the arrangement, but it didn't fill up the room like the first few days. As time went on, the scent isn't as concentrated, but the arrangement still has that lovely rose scent if you actively sniff it.

If you're absolutely obsessed with the scent like I am, you can get the Votive + Fragrance Bundle [9] ($124), which contains a room spray and a mini candle.

How The Venus Et Fleur Arrangement Held Up

The Venus Et Fleur Small Round [10] ($299) arrangement looks absolutely exquisite. The colour I chose is a traditional rich red. It looks royal, elegant, and timeless. The roses feel velvety soft but are quite delicate. It's definitely a decor piece you cannot manhandle and touch all the time. The petals started to get damaged the more I messed with them. The best thing to do is find a permanent home for them and just admire its beauty.

How to Care For the Venus Et Fleur Arrangement:

Although they are real roses, it's best to not water them and to avoid direct sunlight.The preservation process pretty much does the hard work for you. If you want them to last as long as possible, even beyond a year, keep them in a room-temperature location that won't get crushed or pushed around. I keep my Venus Et Fleur Small Round [11] ($299) arrangement as a centrepiece on our foyer table. I use a feather duster to lightly remove any dust or debris.

The Classic Bundle

The The Classic Bundle [12] ($159) is a great gift bundble for the holiday season. It comes with a Le Mini Round arrangement, a Le Mini Square arrangement, and fragrant Votive candle. You can choose the recipient's favourite colour for the arrangement including pink, blush, red, white, hot pink, and baby blue. Choose between three scents for the candle, nue tuberose, rose blanche, and rose oud. You can even choose between black or white boxes for the arrangments.

You can choose your arrangement style, the colour and style of the box or vase, the pattern and colour of the arrangement and even leave a heartfelt note.
