These Rose Scents Are Nothing Like Your Grandma's Perfume
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. There's just something about roses that has made me want to smell like them from a young age. Maybe it's because they're beautiful and I want to carry that beauty with me. Perhaps it's because, as Jessie Dawes, the chief marketing officer for Diptyque Americas, says, 'Rose scents evoke a sense of delicate sensuality both visually in nature and in its fragrance form.' Or maybe it's as simple as the fact that roses smell so darn good to me. Whatever the reason, I've invariably had an affinity for rose fragrances, whether it's spring, summer, winter, or fall. The best compliment I've ever gotten: 'You always smell like roses.' Much to my dismay, not everyone shares my obsession. And honestly, I get it—many of the rose perfumes of yore had that suffocating powdery quality that strikes people as old-fashioned. Or, as several of my friends have put it, 'old lady-ish.' But I stand here today to solemnly swear that I've found over a dozen rose perfumes that smell fresh, modern, and chic. Not all of them are going to suit everyone. But give one a sniff, and you might be delighted by the olfactory garden that greets you. 'While often a polarizing note, I believe there is a rose-based fragrance for everyone. Rose scents can either be soft and sweet or lean bold and spicy,' says Autumne West, the national beauty director at Nordstrom. I firmly feel that to be true, too. If you're ready to begin your own romance with rose fragrances, all you have to do is keep reading. ELLE editors tested a bouquet of rose perfumes to find the 17 best rose fragrances you're bound to fall in love with. Cappadocia draws from its namesake, a region in Turkey renowned for its stunning rocky terrain, colorful hot air balloon rides, and 'fairy chimneys': tall, naturally formed pillars of rock sculpted by the elements over millennia. The scent itself is a symphony of florals, saffron, and sandalwood that transports you to the Turkish destination. Notes: Saffron, sandalwood oil, myrrh resinoid, Turkish rose Size: 2.5 oz. Memo Paris rating: 5/5 stars An ELLE editor says: 'Saffron gives fragrance a unique, sexy, smell. This fragrance is delightful and always leads to many compliments from strangers. I'm running low on my sample, so I layered it with a pure rose scent—and wow! It amplified the Turkish rose, creating a lovely aroma.' —Danielle James, beauty expert If you ever wake up and think, 'I just want to smell like roses today,' this is the one. Although it contains other notes, like lychee, chamomile, and artichoke, that complement the main scent, the rose shines through—without a hint of powder. 'If you prefer something bright and sweet, look for rose fragrances that are blended with fruity accents, like Diptyque's Eau Rose,' says Dawes. Notes: Rose damascena, centifolia rose, chamomile, litchi, artichoke Nordstrom rating: 4.8/5 stars An ELLE contributor says: 'There are few things in life I find more beautiful than a classic bouquet of red roses—and being able to smell like one, too. This masterful Diptyque scent is great for rose purists (featuring three types of rose extracts, including one that's upcycled for an earth-friendly touch), with an interesting tinge of chamomile and artichoke for a romantic yet balanced finish.' —Sam Peters, Hearst senior commerce editor This unisex scent has an inherent sensuality that rubs off on the wearer, a credit to the masterful mingling of saffron, rose, and amber. You can trust that it'll stick around once you apply it—even if you're out partying all night long in Milan. Notes: Saffron, blackcurrant, rose, jasmine, ambergris, moss, dry amber, maltol, musk, cedar Size: 3.4 fl. oz. Glasshouse Fragrances rating: 4.7/5 stars An ELLE editor says: 'If you want to be on the receiving end of a plethora of compliments, this is the fragrance for you. Intertwining rose with saffron, this spicy floral lets you know it's polished, not square. Romantic with an edge—it's the perfect scent when you want to stand out at any occasion. Some say this is a Baccarat 540 dupe, which I disagree with—but it does give off that 'I am wealthy' aroma.' —Danielle James This fragrance marries the sweet scent of rose with the earthiness of vetiver and patchouli, and the truffle adds an inescapable muskiness. It's the kind of captivating perfume that will grab everyone's attention when you walk into a room. Notes: Rose, truffle, vetiver, patchouli, castoreum Size: 3.4 oz. Nordstrom rating: 5/5 stars An ELLE editor says: 'If I apply Frédéric Malle's Rose Tonnerre in the morning, I find myself taking whiffs of my wrists all day long. It draws you in with the sparkling aroma of rose petals, but what I find more interesting is how the other elements of the perfume remind you of the soil in which a rose bush takes root. It's complex, it's gorgeous, it's everything a fragrance should be and more.' —Carol Lee À La Rose is sweet but not cloying, floral but not powdery. It's essentially a bouquet of roses and other flowers distilled into a luxurious glass bottle; the crisp scent is kept grounded by the cedarwood and musk that also snuck into the mix. A truly contemporary-feeling take on the rose perfume. Notes: Damascena rose from Bulgaria, Centifolia rose from Grasse, Calabrian bergamot, Californian orange, violet, magnolia, blossom, cedarwood, musk Size: 1.1 oz. Neiman Marcus rating: 4.7/5 stars An ELLE editor says: 'A la Rose is a soft, beautiful, scent that reminds you of rose petals scattered across a bed with white linens. When it dries down, you get a little brightness, like an afternoon pick me up from a cup of coffee—thanks to the citrusy base notes. It's a rose perfume, not overwhelmingly so—and the scent is long lasting.' —Danielle James Rose and aquatic perfumes attract strong reactions, both bad and good, and this fragrance bravely melds the two. It's one that recalls D.S. & Durga's co-founder David Seth Moltz's favorite summer destination: seaside in New England. Notes: Bergamot, petals, lemon oil, linden, rose accord, dune grass, muscone, salt water, white moss Size: 1.7 oz. Nordstrom rating: 3.5/5 stars An ELLE editor says: 'I imagine the person wearing this perfume to be sitting by the sea in a white linen ensemble, sipping tea as a vase of light pink roses sits beside them. I aspire to be that person.' —Carol Lee The creator of Kilian Paris, Kilian Hennessy, is a direct descendant of Richard Hennessy, who founded the Hennessy cognac company. Hennessey conceived The Liquors collection to pay homage to his family, and the rose fragrance in the lineup draws inspiration from gin. It smells sharp and fresh long after it first lands on your skin. Notes: Cucumber, juniper berries, rose Sephora rating: 4.3/5 stars An ELLE editor says: 'As our digital beauty director Danielle James pointed out, this fragrance reminds you of stems of just-bought roses briefly taken out of their vase. I'd say the name is pretty accurate, too; the scent is refreshing, like the first sip of an ice-cold drink.' —Carol Lee Fruity and floral, Bond No. 9's New York-inspired perfume is as bright as a twinkling star. Yet it sits close to the skin, thanks to its musk base. And those who aren't the biggest fans of gourmands, don't be discouraged by the note of vanilla—it somehow completely avoids the pitfall of being sickly sweet. Notes: Lychee, apricot, red apple, rose essence, watermelon, rose absolute, cedarwood essence, vanilla, musk Neiman Marcus rating: 5/5 stars An ELLE editor says: 'I can't quite place why, but each time I spray on this perfume, I'm overcome with a wave of nostalgia. Fruity perfumes aren't usually my thing, yet this one's a very special exception. If I didn't have so many fragrances in my collection, I'd want to smell like this all the time.' —Carol Lee This beauty from Narciso Rodriguez has all the makings of an alluring fragrance. As its name suggests, the scent is led by the sensual combination of rose and musk, but its true depth reveals itself when it dries down—the bottom notes of vanilla, suede leather, and patchouli linger behind for the rest of the day. Notes: Bergamot, musc, tuberose, vanilla, suede leather, patchouli Size: 3.3 oz. Saks Fifth Avenue rating: 5/5 stars An ELLE editor says: 'As someone who loves musk, rose, and any scent Narciso Rodriguez produces, Musc Noir Rose is a perfect storm for me. There was no way I wouldn't fall for it, and yet I was surprised by how captivating it was. If you already adore Musc Noir and want to try your hand at a rose perfume, this will be the gateway scent for you.' —Carol Lee Hèrmes' Rose Ikebana should come with a warning label—people will most likely come up to you and pester you with questions about what you're wearing. The moniker comes from ikebana, a centuries-old Japanese practice of constructing bouquets of flowers to create sculpture-like arrangements, while the scent is meant to evoke a dew-drenched rose. Notes: Rose, rhubarb Bloomingdale's rating: 5/5 stars An ELLE editor says: 'Fragrances from Hèrmes never disappoint, and this is no exception. It's so long lasting and smells like a floral tea—my favorite kind, next to barley. You just feel expensive wearing it.' —Carol Lee Tom Ford's own private rose garden inspired this warm blend—combining Turkish and Bulgarian roses with patchouli, Sichuan pepper, and cabbage. Like many of his other fragrances, there's an edge to Rose Prick; it's unlike any rose perfume we've smelled before. Notes: Rose de Mai, Bulgarian rose, Sichuan pepper Sephora rating: 4.2/5 stars An ELLE editor says: 'The Sichuan pepper in this sneaks up on you like it does in your favorite spicy Sichuan dish—it's almost like it's not there, and then it hits you when you're least expecting it. It's always a delight when a scent can surprise in that way.' —Carol Lee This mysterious scent is exactly what I imagine Victoria Beckham to smell like: peppery, slightly floral, with a hint of smokey tobacco. If you were a friend in the market for a going out perfume, it's definitely what I'd recommend. Notes: Black cherry, red peppercorn, saffron, Centifolia rose, midnight violet, narcotic musk flower, patchouli fraction, labdanum, black leather, tobacco leaves Size: 1.69 oz. Neiman Marcus rating: 4.6/5 stars An ELLE editor says: 'If I'm being honest with myself, intense fragrances like these aren't typically my vibe. But Suite 302 makes me want to become its vibe. One whiff of it and I'm ready to throw a tailored black leather jacket over my shoulders, slip into a pair of black pumps, and waste the night away in a dimly lit cocktail bar on the Lower East Side.' —Carol Lee Jo Malone doesn't beat around the (rose) bush—its permanent rose perfume hits you with the aroma of roses straight out of the gate, and the addition of lemon gives this classic rose perfume a luminosity that can't be ignored. The brand's scents are designed to be layered, so you can add more complexity by creating your own aromatic cocktail. Notes: Lemon, scarlet velvet rose, honeycomb Size: 1 oz. Sephora rating: 4.1/5 stars An ELLE editor says: 'This was my signature perfume all throughout college; in fact, I think I bought my first bottle during the first week of school my freshman year. It served me well throughout those years. That's not to say that it's juvenile in any way—I recently revisited it, and it's as delicious as I remembered. I gladly added it back into my rotation.' —Carol Lee The original Miss Dior contained notes of rose, but the romantic flower takes center stage in this rendition. Its adorable bow-adorned bottle houses hints of citrus and musk too, which work in harmony to enhance the freshness and femininity of the scent. Notes: Grasse rose absolue, Italian mandarin, white musk accord A Sephora reviewer says: 'Love. Love. LOVE! This perfume has gotten me so many compliments. It's the perfect amount of floral and musk. Definitely a perfect perfume for a night out on the town!' Autumne West is the national beauty director at Nordstrom. Jessie Dawes is the chief marketing officer for Diptyque Americas. Dawes recommends looking inwards first. 'Understanding what you love about fragrances and what draws you in is the best place to start,' he explains. Then, you can get down to business: 'The best way to discover a new perfume is to go in-store to test and sample the fragrance on you. All perfumes initially smell a certain way but will dry down a bit differently as you wear it, which can help you determine if you truly love it,' West says. It's always a good idea to test as many as you can before settling on the one you choose to buy. Dawes explains, 'A great way to layer rose perfumes is to first determine how prominent you'd like the rose scent to be. If you want rose to really shine, I recommend adding it as your final step in your fragrance layering, almost as though you're adding a velvety and smooth veil to your personal scent. Rose is a universal and often recognizable scent that complements most things—we love to pair Diptyque's Eau Rose with Diptyque's Eau Duelle, layered on top for a floral gourmand expression that evokes the spirit of a Parisian patisserie.' But at the end of the day, there's no real pressure to layer your scent if you're more of a one-and-done kind of person—especially with rose perfumes. 'I find a lot of fragrances that have rose are already paired perfectly with the other notes within the scent, therefore it is great on its own! However, layering is always an option with no set rules. Fragrance is personal, so it is best to try out combinations until you create the version that is right for you. Rose pairs well with a bright note like citrus or tea, or alternatively with a hint of spice.' Essentially, the best way to figure it out is to play around until you find a combination that you personally enjoy. It's a resounding yes from our experts. 'There are varieties within the rose scent category, and each one smells differently based on the region the rose note comes from. For example, tuberose-based scents can be warm and heavy with a hint of musk, while a more traditional rose will tend to be light, sweet, and of course very floral,' West says. There's so much variety that even if you like to change up your scent each season, you'll be able to find a perfume for each one. 'Roses are beloved, and the iconic nature of the flower and its scent makes it palatable all year round,' Dawes adds. As a leading publisher of fashion, lifestyle, and beauty content, is committed to highlighting the best products in various categories by personally testing the latest and most innovative products, interviewing countless experts, and vetting customer-loved items. For this piece, beauty writer Carol Lee spoke with trusted fragrance experts about the rose perfumes, and she and other ELLE editors tested many out themselves. Lee also searched the internet for the top-rated rose perfumes, perused reviews for dozens of popular options, and evaluated each on their features and customer reviews.

The Best Floral Perfumes to Wear If You Want to Smell Expensive
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. Look closely at any perfume's list of notes, and you're bound to find at least one floral in there. Turns out, many of us want to smell like flowers in one way or another, although the intensity we desire may vary. I, for one, am a self-appointed rose perfume connoisseur and will shower myself in florals if that's what it takes for people to associate blossoms with me. The editor who sits next to me in the office isn't the biggest fan yet, however, slowly but surely, she's coming around to joining the rest of us floral enthusiasts. 'Floral perfumes have an enduring appeal because they include an incredibly versatile range of scents, from delicate and subtle to bold and intoxicating. Florals are particularly present in traditionally feminine fragrances, but we're starting to see these notes used more and more in 'masculine' scents too,' reports Rodrigo Flores-Roux, a perfumer and the vice president of perfumery at Givaudan. As a result, there's a vast number of floral perfumes out there, especially when you consider the fact that the main qualifier for a floral fragrance 'is that the dominant notes are derived from flowers,' according to Jessie Dawes, the chief marketing officer at Diptyque. With such a dizzying array to pick and choose from, I can understand if you're experiencing a bit of decision paralysis. But my fellow beauty editors and I have gathered our absolute favorite picks, including both affordable perfumes and expensive perfumes, to help you out. We here at are lucky enough to smell and test hundreds of scents throughout the year, so you know they have to be good if they made the cut. Without further ado, I present to you the 16 best floral perfumes, according to people who know what they're talking about. The original Delina is a beauty in and of itself, but this version takes it up a notch—probably why it's a FragranceTok favorite. Reviewers gush about its 'sweet seduction' and fruity yet complex symphony of rose, peach, and amber. Notes: Pear, lychee, grapefruit, rosa damascena, incense, vetiver, vanilla, musk, evernyl Size: 2.5 oz. Nordstrom rating: 4.7/5 stars An ELLE editor says: 'Beyond the fact that the bottle is gorgeous, this scent is a combination of all of my favorite scent families. The floral notes balance really nicely with the fruity ones, and it's topped off with vanilla for a finish that's deliciously sweet, light, and warm, basically all of the things I personally like to embody. I think this would be a great spring and summer scent but it'd also be nice as a signature scent.' —Tasha Nicole Smith, ELLE beauty assistant If most fragrances feel too heavy for you and give you a headache, you should try an eau de toilette like this one from Elizabeth Arden. With notes of pink freesia, white tea, and musk, it's the perfect lightweight everyday scent. Notes: White tea, pink freesia, pink orris, blush honey suckle, trisamber, musk, tonka bean Size: 3.3 oz. Ulta rating: 4.6/5 stars An ELLE editor says: 'There are days when I'm prone to nausea, and spraying on a perfume will make it worse more often than not. If I still want to smell good, however, a dusting of this scent will perk me up right away without giving me a migraine.' —Carol Lee A truly floral perfume like this one will instantly make you feel as if you're strolling through a field of wildflowers. Lily of the valley holds the starring role in this fragrance, supported by fruity pear and green blackcurrant. Notes: Pear accord, lily of the valley accord, musks Size: 3.4 oz. Sephora rating: 4.1/5 stars An ELLE editor says: 'Donning Springtime In A Park makes me feel like I've gifted myself a huge bouquet of freshly cut flowers. It's feminine in a way that's not too young or mature—it's just right.' —Carol Lee The moment ELLE Beauty smelled this fragrance, our noses perked right on up, intrigued by the oud, of course, but also a sweeter thing: rose. While the floral note blankets the skin with softness, oud deepens the composition to create a mysterious aroma that swings from daytime to nocturnal as it dries down. Notes: Oud, rose hydrolat, rose oxide Fragrantica rating: 3.7/5 stars An ELLE editor says: 'Everyone I know who's sniffed this scent has loved it. My colleagues and I are hit with compliments left and right when we've worn it. It just has so much complexity to it that it's endlessly intriguing—I'd love to smell men wearing it too.'—Carol Lee Glossier You was a sensation when it first debuted in 2017, and it has become so ubiquitous in the streets of New York City and beyond that Glossier founder Emily Weiss recently stated, 'this could be the next Chanel No. 5.' The scent is warm and sparkling and adapts to fit each wearer. Notes: Pink pepper, iris, ambrox Size: 1.7 oz. Sephora rating: 3.7/5 stars An ELLE editor says: 'Glossier You mimics the fresh, clean, aroma that envelops your nose when you step out from your everything shower. It smells like you, but better.' —Danielle James, beauty expert Anyone who's been itching to try a skin scent should consider Missing Person. A soft and subtle blend of jasmine, orange blossom, and musk, the scent becomes one with your natural scent and enhances whatever's already there. Side note: The magnetic cap is oh-so-satisfying. Notes: Skin musk, bergamot nectar, blonde wood Sephora rating: 3.8/5 stars An ELLE editor says: 'Missing Person smells how a long, warm hug from your comfort person feels. I layer it with any and all fragrances because it sits so close to the skin, and I even spray it on at night before bed if I want to feel extra cozy. I love it with all my heart, and I hope I always have a bottle on hand.'—Carol Lee If you're a fan of Ouai's Treatment Masque or Rose Hair & Body Oil, you'll be happy to know that you can smell like them, too. The woody, musky rose of Melrose Place is the same scent found in those hero products from the hair and body care maker. Notes: Champagne, bergamot, rose Sephora rating: 4.2/5 stars An ELLE editor says: 'Not sure where my summer will take me but I know what scent I want to have on hand: Melrose Place by Ouai. As a Ouai St. Barts obsessive, I didn't even bother to give its sister scent a chance, but I'm glad I caved. Melrose Place is a versatile companion, airy and soft, with faint floral notes that meld with the woodier elements seamlessly. As it kisses my skin, the woods dissolve to make way for rose and lychee to emerge.' —Nerisha Penrose, beauty commerce editor 'Magnolia fascinates me because I find it impossible to discern what Mother Nature was thinking when she created this beauty,' says Flores-Roux. That intriguing flower is the top note of this floral perfume. Plus six silky musks provide a second-skin, almost pheromone perfume-like vibe. Notes: Essence of magnolia, rose centifolia, geranium bourbon, heart of musk, sandalwood Size: 3 oz. Nordstrom rating: 4/5 stars An ELLE editor says: 'One of my first forays into designer scents was Narcisco Rodriguez. My NR collection has grown tremendously over the years, but All of Me is the clear standout. The powder pink packaging gives way to its superb scent: a soft, floral-musk aroma that takes the edge off my bolder scents on days when I feel like smelling bright.' —Nerisha Penrose Francis Kurkdjian based this fragrance on Christian Dior's love of the French Riviera—hence the name. The two key notes, rose and fig, evoke the scents that permeate the air during a summer in the South of France. Notes: Fig, rose Size: 4.25 oz. Dior rating: 4.6/5 stars An ELLE editor says: 'I kind of happened on this scent—a good friend of mine wears it and recommended it to me. From the moment I tried it, I haven't been able to stop wearing it. It's an effervescent solar floral that feels like France in the summertime. It's the perfect marriage of rose and fig, but it also has a salty, airy quality that I can't quite put my finger on that really makes it shine.' —Katie Berohn, ELLE beauty editor Michelle Pfeiffer built fragrance brand Henry Rose with the mission to supply customers with transparent ingredient labels, and Flora Carnivora is her first fragrance where florals take center stage. The florals in question? Jasmine, tuberose, and orange flower for a citrusy twist. Notes: Orange-flower water, absolute tunisia, neroli blanc, jasmine absolute sambac, tuberose accord, cedarwood texas, vetiver oil Haiti, opulent musks, amber Nordstrom rating: An ELLE editor says: 'If I had to rank all the perfumes in my collection, floral scents would be at the bottom of the list. I love being gifted flowers, but smelling like them all day long? Not so much. I like my scents complex, mysterious, and not at all flirty or light. However, Flora Carnivora entered my life, and I had to eat my words; this floral perfume is light and intoxicating, ripe with fresh, rich floral notes that feel like a walk through the New York Botanical Garden.' —Nerisha Penrose Dominique Ropion went through over 600 formulations over the course of two years before landing on the exact combination that came to be known as Carnal Flower. The fragrance is a true white floral, with jasmine and ylang-ylang shining through richer notes like tuberose. Notes: Green aquatic, ylang-ylang, jasmine absolute, orange blossom absolute, tuberose absolute, coconut, white musks cocktail Nordstrom rating: 4.2/5 An ELLE editor says: 'Old Hollywood romance films come to mind when I smell this perfume. I'm intoxicated by the florals in it, especially the tuberose. Although I'm too fickle to stick to one scent for the rest of my life, I could see this being a fantastic lifelong signature fragrance.' —Carol Lee Its name gives it away—the perfumers who conceived of Mojave Ghost were thinking of the Mojave Desert as they selected each note. The scent opens with ambrette and Jamaican nesberry, but the notes of violet, sandalwood and cedarwood reveal themselves during the drydown. Notes: Ambrette, Jamaican nesberry, violet, sandalwood, magnolia, chantilly musk, crisp amber, cedarwood Nordstrom rating: 4.5/5 stars An ELLE editor says: 'Mojave Ghost is one of those fragrances I want to bathe in, and I do try my best; I hit the nozzle no fewer than eight times during application. Despite my enthusiasm, nobody has ever complained that it's much too strong. Instead, I'm hounded for requests for the name of the scent.'—Carol Lee Tom Ford has fashioned a fragrance empire, and his debut perfume still holds strong. Black Orchid is tender, luxurious, and captivating, a reflection of its namesake plant. Tom Ford paired the floral with patchouli and vanilla, adding a delicious warmth to the mix. Notes: Black orchid, black truffle, patchouli Size: 1 oz. Sephora rating: 4.2 oz. An ELLE editor says: 'When I was 18, I got it in my head that I needed a 'signature scent,' and after taking a fragrance quiz at Sephora, I landed on this one. I wore it exclusively for about five years of my life, and now it's a special occasion scent when I want a boost of confidence. It's an incredibly heady, sensual mix of florals and spices. It's the little black dress in my fragrance arsenal—it's never a bad idea to take it out for a spin.' —Katie Berohn Rodrigo Flores-Roux is the vice president of perfumery at Givaudan. Jessie Dawes is the chief marketing officer at Diptyque. Not all experts agree on whether to layer floral perfumes. Flores-Roux believes that each fragrance should breathe on its own: 'Each perfume is its own magical creation,' he explains. On the other hand, Dawes believes that layering 'is where you can really tap into something magical,' he says. He recommends combining scents to create something that feels particular to you. 'While pairing floral scents together always works, I encourage the wearer to dream up something unique to their tastes and memories. From sparkling bright florals like the rose, mimosa, and freesia, to sweet and heady white flowers like tuberose, jasmine, or hawthorn, your options are limitless,' he adds. A hundred times yes. 'While blooming flora tends to be synonymous with the spring and summer seasons, floral scents work all year long. Depending on your preferences, you can use floral fragrance to conjure feelings of warmer seasons or lean into a more literal interpretation with floral raw material that's native to the cooler months. Either way, there is never a wrong time to embrace a floral perfume,' says Dawes.
