Artists and artisans are being erased in the name of political neutrality but is it neutrality or selectivity?

I was erased from a candle for being "Pro Palestine" whilst Lalique continue to sell the work of a Zionist artist. As an anti Zionist I find this very political.

Here is the original #lalique candle imagery with my name on the top of the box and featured in the description. I saw this in January when the candle was launched online - Guy Oliver then informed me this was a mistake and the imagery and wording was updated.

I have since been contacted by people who purchased or were gifted the candle @sothebys event which I wasn't even invited to. This version already had my identity removed and went on sale in November without my knowledge, without a sample, without recognition, without an NDA and most of all WITHOUT TRUTH. All because I support Palestine.

They want all of the heritage without the "politics." I am so disgusted.

When David takes on Goliath we have to accept change takes more time, more energy and complete perseverance. 

Lalique erased me for my Palestine advocacy. 
Guy Oliver of Oliver Laws blamed the royal connection of the charity. Their internal communications revealed a truth that affects so many artisans.

THE TRUTH BEHIND THE ERASURE 🕯️🚫

Think "political" advocacy is the reason for exclusion? Think again. The paper trail reveals a calculated effort to silence an Arab voice.

THE LIES

The "Nervous Courtiers" Myth: Guy Oliver (Oliver Laws) claimed the King’s team was uneasy about an NHS lawsuit.

The Coffee Shop Tactic: Meetings were kept to cafes to avoid written records; he even asked, "Are you recording this?"

The Gaslighting: I was told it had "nothing to do with Palestine."

THE REALITY

The Lalique Factor: Internal emails confirm it wasn't the TMF—it was Lalique.

The Double Standard: Lalique labeled Palestine advocacy "too political" for a charity project, all while celebrating the work of Zionist creators.

Erasure isn't an accident—it’s a choice.

​ERASED FOR ADVOCATING FOR PALESTINE. 🇵🇸

​For over two years, I poured my technical expertise, money, and time into creating the fragrance for Lalique’s Turquoise Mountain Candle—a royal charity project meant to celebrate my Jordanian heritage and support Palestinian artisans.

​My name was meant to be front and centre. I developed the formula, sourced the materials, and navigated the complex chemistry to make this candle a reality.

​But just before the launch, Lalique completely erased my name from the packaging and marketing. No consultation. No real explanation.
​Why?

Thanks to an internal email disclosed by their own legal team, I now have the truth in black and white. Lalique’s Managing Director wrote that because I am “officially campaigning for Palestine,” they had to remove me because the brand “CANNOT be politically involved in our products.”

​The Hypocrisy:
Lalique claims "political neutrality" to silence a Palestine advocate, yet they proudly promote their named collaboration with an architect who publicly describes her practice as a Zionist mission for the Israeli state.
​Political neutrality? No. That is explicit discrimination based on which side of human rights you stand on.

​The Aftermath:
Lalique launched the candle anonymously, and it tanked. Now, they are sitting on over 1,600 unsold candles containing my intellectual property and my exact fragrance formula—using my work without a fair settlement, credit, or agreement
.
​I tried to resolve this fairly and privately. They refused to engage. So, I am making it public.
​Please read the full press release and see the leaked email at the link in my bio. Please share this post. It’s time to hold luxury brands accountable for their asymmetric double standards. ⚖️

Story Time:

Lalique DROPPED me for publicly campaigning for Palestine from a candle project raising money for Palestine. I promise this story is worth 20 minutes of your time.

I have an important story to tell you all about a candle I designed for @lalique in collaboration with guyoliver_ for a new room at the @TheConnaught hotel to raise money for @turquoisemountain @turquoisemountainarabiaone01 @turquoisemountainpalestine a charity that amongst other things supports Palestinian refugees.

A story of how my name was dropped from the product when the manager of Lalique found out I was advocating for Palestine.

They lied. They denied. They offered me a pittance for the hours of work and dropped me with their "Royal" explanation. More on that later. 

Best of all. I HAVE RECEIPTS. I promise I won't make you wait too long.

ROOK應該算是我會想收全系列的香水,
今天要來談 @rookperfumes -隱森Forest

這支香水的松樹、柏樹,
我覺得初聞有點以精油的方式呈現,
不過很快的黑胡椒的味道就炸出來,
混合著綠葉香氣,
是我認為非常好聞的綠意調香水,
綠葉不會過度還原到撚碎樹葉的程度,
打趴前面所說的精油感,
有點像在高山上吸取芬多精的感受(?)

除了身處高山,也同時有土壤感,
廣藿香的泥土氣息大概10分鐘內就會出來,
土壤與綠意交織,再搭配黑胡椒提亮,
讓整支既綠意,也不會顯得陰鬱~

大概半小時後,土壤感更加明顯,
整體從剛才的明亮轉為高山中帶有潮濕味的感受,
泥土與木頭交纏,
完整呈現巨木紮根穩重渾厚的氣味。

Rook家我就是腦粉…

前調 I 松樹、柏樹
中調 I 黑胡椒、乳香、綠葉
後調 I 廣藿香、雪松、白麝香
