A really great rose perfume?

I have one perfume that I absolutely love which I wear all autumn/winter but it doesn't work very well for spring/summer.
I really want to get a beautiful rose-scented perfume but the two I've tried so far, while they smell nice enough, don't last longer than 5 minutes. Can anyone recommend a rose perfume with good staying power?

I've just finished the Penhaligon Duchess Rose fragrance. Cost a fortune but it lasted me 3 years so was actually great value overall.

You could add Flower Market by Maison Margiela to your list to try

Byredo - Young Rose
Dior - Rose and Roses
Jo Malone - Red Rosesn

Trussardi Delicate Rose is lovely but I believe is discontinued. I was still getting from Amazon but I can’t see it there anymore! 😥

Idôle Nectar by Lancôme
Chloe Eau de Parfum by Chloé
Lush Rose Jam body spray - it’s surprisingly long lasting for a body spray

Roger and Gallet Rose perfume is beautiful. Good for everyday as its not expensive.

Angela Flanders has several rose scents. There is a shop in Colombia Road if you're near London or they do sample sets to help you choose. The most beautiful perfumes and they really last

Dyptique L'Eau Capital - I wear this a lot & it always gets compliments

Also love Tom Ford Cafe Rose & Amalfi Rose both gorgeous

Lancôme miracle is my favourite rose perfume. It reminds me of a rose garden just after rain.

Canyoudigityesyoucan · 03/08/2024 10:05

Diptique- Eau Capitale
Byredeo- Rose of No Man’s Land
Tom Ford- Cafe Rose

But ultimate fave (but spenny!) is Matiere Premier, Radical Rose

SuePreemly · 03/08/2024 10:07

Not entirely rose, but definitely rose based and I love it is Chloe Rose.

Mysa74 · 03/08/2024 10:09

Another vote for l'Occitaine, I haven't tried the perfume but the rose hand cream is wonderful.

Iheartmysmart · 03/08/2024 10:14

I like Acqua di Parma Rose Nobile. It starts off a bit heavy but fades to a lovely subtle rose scent.

Paris by YSL.

Caudalie 'Rose de Vigne' is my favourite, delicate but very rosy and does attract compliments when I'm wearing it:

A really great rose perfume?

Diptyque L'ombre dans l'eau is a lovely green rose, I love it in summer. I switch to Tom Ford Cafe Rose once the temperatures drop.

You could try rose Goldea by Bvlgari. . Top notes are Rose, Musk, Pomegranate and Bergamot; middle notes are Damask Rose, Peony, Jasmine and Peach; base notes are Musk, Sandalwood, Olibanum and Vanilla.

The lasting power depends on your skin. Like I love the Jo Malone. Red roses that's mentioned above but it doesn't last on me.

I recently bought Tea Rose by Perfumer’s Workshop. It’s a very realistic rose and has good longevity.

Fabulous, thank you for all the suggestions! Shame about the Paul Smith one, definitely discontinued. I've made a list of the others to see if I can find anywhere I can try them out.
the blurb from the Coveted duchess one made me laugh...!

"Rose’s coy eau de parfum conceals something more sensual – a hint of musky wood. Alas, the Duke is off gallivanting while his sweet young bride aches with desire. Won’t someone (anyone) release her?"
Who writes this?! 😂

Maybe the DGC of the person who wrote this for Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet:

"A duo of Damascus rose and peony notes then unfurls with nobleness, like a passionate and radiant emotion. A soft, light accord of white musks rounds off the bouquet of this fragrance that tells the story of love."

'Unfurls with nobleness' is my new pilates goal 😃

Byredo Rose of No Mans Land is beautiful!
Aerin Evening Rose is also lovely, it was my wedding perfume!

CatChant · 03/08/2024 12:02

Frederic Malle’s Portrait of a Lady - heavenly!

TheGirlOnTheLanding · 03/08/2024 12:31

Sardonyx Fire from & Other Stories - rose-based but with amber and vanilla in the background. Very reasonable but doesn't smell cheap (to me anyway) and the roll-on oil version in particular is long lasting.
