"This fragrance dedicated to the Roman emperor Heliogabalus, and its inspiration is born in the iconic painting by Sir Lawrence Alma Tedema "The Roses of Heliogabalus", the painting represents an episode (probably invented) of the emperor's life (204–222), taken from In the History of Augustus, although the original Latin text refers to "violets and other flowers", Alma-Tadema depicts Heliogabalus suffocating his unsuspecting guests with rose petals thrown from a false ceiling. His brief reign (218-222) was marked by sexual scandals and religious controversy. The emperor reportedly wore makeup and wigs, preferred to be called lady rather than sir, and offered large sums of money to any surgeon who could provide him with a vagina. For this reason, some writers and historians view the Roman emperor as one of the first transgender figures, and one of the first on record to seek sex reassignment surgery." -Brand info.
