5 best rose perfumes
And that's true, a rose is - and always will be - elegant, beautiful, secretive, chic, romantic, and timeless. No matter what trend comes and goes.
Unfairly some might say that roses gained the reputation of being old-fashioned and stuffy. But we don't agree!
Like an olfactory little black dress rose perfumes remain special in the perfume world, because they convey classic chic but also contemporary uniqueness.
Being a perfumery favourite, the extraordinary versatile ingredient can transform to spicy, sweet, floral or woody notes. While the rose-infused fragrance can appear fresh and deeply (romantic) at the same time.
Aside its unique olfactory character roses also provide healing, natural anti-inflammatory, moisturising, skin soothing and anti-ageing benefits. Therefore rose-scented perfumes and skincare products are created for decades and even go back to Ancient Egypt where Cleopatra bathed in rose water.
There was and will remain magic around this flower, about whom also literature tells secretive stories.
Treat yourself or a beloved one with an extraordinary gift, with
a bouquet of roses which you either can take with you or give to a loved one as a very special rose bouquet delivery.
These are our most favourite rose scented fragrances - to use every day, for a date night, as a gift or just to appreciate the floral scent by yourself.
