Nice rose perfume for summer?

Can anyone suggest a good rose light perfume for summer?
I have a rose/vanilla perfume but it doesn't last. I'm working my way through Origins Ginger but it's very citrusy and I'd rather something new.

La Fille de Berlin by Serge Lutens as recommended by teta. It's a lovely rose and lasts a good while.

Chloe edp

Le Labo's Rose 31.
( OK, came across it as the smart smellies in an upmarket hotel and took the little bottles home)
Just love the unsweet Rose smell.

Crabtree and Evelyn used to do a nice rose perfume called Evelyn not sure if they still do it though

Juliette's Got a Gun-Miss Charming. Gorgeous rose perfume. If you want something a bit less sweet try JGG-Citizen Queen.

I really recommend Annick Goutal Rose PomPon. It's light and delightful and pretty.

I also agree that Body Shop Atlas Mountain Rose is very good. Yardley Rose is also a good one and cheap as chips.

I like a recent Avon one as well: Avon Perceive Oasis. It's about £7 and smells like a light version of Chloe.

All the Papillon scents are excellent.

Tobacco Rose: a very long lasting spicy rose. We're talking 15 hours longevity.

Angelique- Orris and Mimosa. I find it very hard to describe but I love it so much I have a full bottle.

Anubis: a hard hitter, but a work of genius. If you like Tauer's L'Air du Desert Marocain and Shalimar, you'll like Anubis.

Salome: pure sex. A Vintage style knickery, sexy scent that gets voted in the top ten by more bloggers than I can list.

Thanks MissBattleaxe - I shall order all four and test them on rotation.

YSL Paris springtime special release - varies every year or two - lighter than Paris (which I still love but is a bit heavier) - fits your bill 1000%... some years are better than others but they are always delightful and totally rose-y - enjoy!!

Sweet!
Thanks folks, I tried Paul Smith rose and it was lovely.
Heading to the Body Shop and Jo Malone next. Some lovely brands here I've never heard of.

I once bought a perfume on Amazon that turned out to be a fake. (I did get a refund.) Discounted items are not always good value for money.

I used to have a rise smelling one but can't for the life of me remember what it was. Glad I've found this thread, I'll check some of these out. Thanks!
