Have just finished a tester of Ellis Brooklyn of Rrose a good strong rose on initial spray, lasts for a few hours. It seems that you cannot buy it in the UK anymore.

Does anyone know what I am describing (I don't know if it exists.
I'm looking for a Rose perfume; strong, rose smell.

Ellis Brooklyn Rrose was lemony, I don't need the lemon, I prefer, musky-er, spice-ier or a strong, deeper floral like Ylang Ylang.

I would want the rose smell would be the strongest note, and stay throughout the day.

Any ideas, please.

Stella McCartney - Rose

Sadly this has been discontinued for a few years now. Was lovely.

Guerlain Acqua Allegario Rosa Rosso Forte is gorgeous

Le Labo - Rose. Around £180 for a small bottle but smells divine!

ScrewyouShirley · 02/05/2024 15:57

Mancera Roses Vanille is lovely.

Lush rose jam perfume is VERY rose, in a slightly Turkish delight way. I find it a bit too much but you might like it.

Portrait of a lady - extremely long lasting
Rose Prick - Tom Ford. One of my faves a spicier rose

LadyHester · 02/05/2024 15:59

Byredo Rose of No Man’s Land is divine

TheFormidableMrsC · 02/05/2024 16:00

@Illpickthatup Thanks so much for that! I'll order some. I was so disappointed when I found out it was discontinued, I've seen it for silly money on eBay and Vinted but this sounds like a fantastic alternative!

Paul Smith Rose is a long lasting one for me.
Tresor used to be nice, not had it for ages.

LaWench · 02/05/2024 16:01

I didn't know Paul Smith Rose had been discontinued :(

Neil's Yard Remedies do a fab Rose perfume. The Frankincense one is gorgeous, also

GerminateMyParsnips · 02/05/2024 16:37

Penhaligon's - Elisabethean Rose

Was going to recommend this too.

i have Miss Dior Rose and roses 🌹

anyoneanyoneanyone · 02/05/2024 16:39

which sounds exactly what you're looking for!!!!

I second Portrait of a Lady by Frederic Maille but it is very expensive. I have the dupe by Perfume Parlour - it is called Dame Painting on their website. It is close to the original - my son bought me a sample of the original.

BusyMintCrab · 02/05/2024 18:04

Ooh I have Jo Malones Rose Oud (in the black bottle), it’s gorgeous and lasts all day but is pretty expensive.

Liberty also have a gorgeous rose perfume - their own brand. It’s mega £££ but absolutely beautiful, possibly my fave perfume ever.

Horsesontheloose · 02/05/2024 18:18

Liz Earle botanical no.20. Very rosy perfume.

Enko · 02/05/2024 18:20

Rose Goldea by Bvlgari but not just rose scented

What does Rose Goldea smell like?
Notes: (Top) violet leaf, jasmine, papaya; (Heart) rose, rose leaf, lily of the valley; (Base) Bulgarian rose, amber, white musk.

TrtseHkpr · 02/05/2024 18:43

Paul Smith Rose, or Rose de Mai (can’t remember the brand, but M&S sell it) are both very good

SandDunesAndSaltyAir · 02/05/2024 19:30

I second Byredo Rose of No Man's Land - I have the shower gel and it lasts on my skin for ages.

Favourite perfume is Tobacco Rose by Papillon - a gorgeous rich, musky, long-lasting rose.

paddleamyowncanoe · 02/05/2024 19:37

This is brilliant, thank you everyone.
I'll order samples of everything and choose my favourites.
