Hi can anyone recommend a rose scented or nice floral perfume? I have Paul smith Rose which I like but sadly I just can't smell it on me at all.

L'Occitane do lovely floral scents, there's a rose one that I love. I love most of their scents actually..... current fave is green tea, verbena is lovely too!

Lily the new Stella Mcartney fragrance is floral

It's very nice

The original stella mccartney perfume

boogiewoogie · 20/04/2012 19:57

YSL Paris is very rosy.

The L'Occitane rose one is part of their "favourites collection" - a set of 4 best-sellers which they sell pretty cheaply. It's very rosy.

I've had the Jo Malone red roses one, it was lovely. I would definitely buy again.

GUCCI FLORA is very nice too.

Lush did a limited edition perfume called Leap Frog that is very floral (with rose in) and nice, it's still available on their website for a bit here. I own it and it's lovely, warm and velvety and happy.

Gucci flora tuberose. Very nice. I am lusting after the gardenia version.

GiantPuffball · 21/04/2012 08:16

Marc Jacobs do one

FoofyShmooffer · 21/04/2012 08:21

Boss Femme is floral but gentle. It doesn't disappear after an hour.

Dottymcdot · 21/04/2012 08:24

Flower tag is nice.

Dottymcdot · 21/04/2012 08:24

Flower tag is nice.

Flowerbomb by viktor and Rolf is floral and gorgeous! Or flower by kenzo it stays on for ages too

HeeHeeHeeBum · 21/04/2012 08:42

Rose Nuit de Mai by L'Occitane is lovely.

MadameMessy · 21/04/2012 08:43

Paul smith do one but I think its a bit granny ish iykwim? Tommy hilfiger loud is much more up to date roses scent

missmartha · 21/04/2012 08:47

i second Jo Malone Red Rose, beautifully rosy. Spring Flower by Creed is wonderful too if a bit pricey.

It was designed specially for Audrey Hepburn though.

Stella Mac's Lily is very short lived, it just vanishes of my skin. Really odd.

I wear D&G Rose the one, I wouldn't normally go for a floral perfume, but I love it

ujjayi · 21/04/2012 11:23

Stella McCartney original scent is beautiful. I am a Paul Smith Roses fan too. I think with any perfume you stop noticing it on yourself after you have worn it a while. I also love Flower Bomb by Viktor & Rolf but it is rather sweet rather than the cooler scent of a true rose perfume.

EllenParsons · 21/04/2012 15:41

Ralph Lauren - Romance is a really lovely floral with a noticeable rose note. I love this one.

1gglePiggle · 21/04/2012 22:16

Jo Malone red roses also recommended if you want a proper rose scent.

CointreauVersial · 21/04/2012 22:49

If you want something cheap inexpensive, Just Pink from Next is lovely, really floral and pretty.

Beamur · 21/04/2012 22:52

Tommy Girl by Tommy Hilfiger is nice, very light and floral and apparently Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker is also very nice - I bought it for a friend and she loves it.

noddyholder · 21/04/2012 22:53

Aqua di Parma iris is lovely

SkinnyVanillaLatte · 22/04/2012 00:45

Cointreau I agree with you that Just Pink is lovely.
