Zielinski & Rozen

Those missing their neighborhood apothecary-themed perfume shop will find comfort and intrigue in local fragrance-makers Zielinski & Rozen’s smattering of options. The husband-wife duo have jumped on the ever-popular band wagon and crafted a fragrant pharmacy of soaps, candles, diffusers, shower scents, perfumes and custom, made-to-order fragrances. Visitors can sit in the labatory-esque shop and choose from a wide variety of unusual scents to create a perfume that is utterly unique. "We write stories with fragrance," says co-owner Erez Zelinski-Rozen. "It's an unseen accessory that completes someone's appearance and delivers a message. We concoct perfumes from dozens of raw materials, including roots and grasses.” Inspiration comes from anywhere and everywhere, including right outside their front door, “We've even created a perfume inspired by the eclectic street musicians in Jaffa playing on Fridays.”
