Romantic rose fragrances are in full bloom this spring, capturing the timeless allure of these lasting floral scents.
Romantic Rose Scents
Fragrance houses are rediscovering their romantic trail, offering a myriad of sublime scents to try. From classic notes to innovative blends, rose is being reimagined in new and exciting ways, contrasting against green, aquatic, or oud accords.
Rose oil's versatility allows perfumers to create fine, fresh scents subtly. With various types of roses used in perfumery, each lends itself to different accords, from cool and fresh to bold and earthy. Whether you prefer a verdant, fresh scent or something deeper with hints of pepper or patchouli, there is a rose perfume to suit every preference and occasion.
