While painting the 14 Stations of the Cross (the agony that Jesus traveled from his condemnation to his funeral), Lydia felt the pain of Jesus. She then got the idea that she had to do something with roses. She then experimented with various types of rose oil.
The rose is not only a beautiful and fragrant flower, but is also surrounded with extraordinary symbolism. In this way we all know the meaning of red roses as the ultimate symbol of love. Red roses also sprang from the wounds of Jesus when he hung on the cross, as a sign of love and charity. White roses stand for innocence and chastity: Mary – the mother of Jesus – is therefore called as ‘mystical rose’.
The rose has much more symbolism: it stands for the secret of life, for divine power and beauty. But on the other hand it also refers to human passions of a passing nature such as pleasure, delusion and enchantment.
Lydia therefore started experimenting with all kinds of rose oil. Eventually she developed her Smart Serum: a facial oil with wild musk rose oil that visibly tightens the skin. Our Happy Face is a variation on this facial oil. Lydia chose the wild musk rose because the oil from this type of rose is extremely powerful and also has an exceptionally delicious scent.
