Tom Ford
Craving the intoxicating air of a rose garden in full bloom? While teleporting to Tom Ford’s personal haven might be off the table, this rose perfume brings its essence right to you. Imagine yourself amidst a “wild bouquet” of “intoxicating” roses (as described by Mr Ford himself) as Turkish and Bulgarian blooms intertwine with Rose de Mai for a scent that’s “sharp and pristine, warm and sensual. A heady bouquet of blooms in pink perfection.” We’d expect nothing less.
Diptyque
This isn’t your usual rose fragrance (this is Diptyque after all), which is why you’ll find some rather unexpected notes inside each beautifully adorned bottle. Chamomile, artichoke and litchi included. Using extracts and absolutes to create an intense bouquet, it showcases the best in sustainability with infusions of an upcycled flower made from extracted distilled water of Damascena roses. The result? A flirty, fruity floral practically made for Valentine’s Day.
Jo Loves
“I have always loved the scent of rose petals,” reveals fragrance icon Jo Malone. “So in celebration of my 25 years creating fragrance, I captured every memory of what this beautiful flower means to me.” And beautiful this scent is, with notes of rose absolute, Rose de Mai and ambrette seed that blend blissfully together for a delicate yet intoxicating rose fragrance that’s bound to leave everyone saying “you smell seriously good.”
Gisou
Okay so technically this is a hair perfume, but that hasn’t stopped us from dousing ourselves in it. Playfully blending dewy bergamot and rhubarb with the captivating essence of wild rose and addictive vanilla, it will leave you – and your locks – smelling seriously sublime. Plus, its nourishing formula is enriched with honey straight from the Mirsalehi bee garden and argan oil to hydrate, boost shine and refresh your hair. The only problem? It’s limited edition. So, move. Fast.
Dior
“With Miss Dior Rose N’Roses, I did not want to create a rose, but rather the incarnation of a floral profusion. I wanted to renew with that powerful feeling of ‘nature’, like when I was a child in Grasse and first saw the fields of flowers blooming in May,” reveals François Demachy, Dior Perfumer-Creator. A rose fragrance made with rose absolute from Grasse and notes of bergamot, jasmine and musk, there are also zesty hints of bergamot and mandarin for a fresh, fruity hit. The cherry on top? Its gorgeous pink bottle complete with a pretty silver bow.
Whind
Move over box of chocolates, because this Valentine’s Day we’ll be indulging in sweet, addictive Turkish delight. Not the edible kind, however, because thanks to Whind’s Lalla La Rose fragrance, you can enjoy the sweet, floral scent of sugared rose petals and rich, decadent coconut and vanilla cream all day long. In true Whind style, the scent also pays homage to the brand’s roots in Morocco, so you can also expected notes of spiced Morocan woods for extra depth and elegance.
