16 best rose perfumes of 2025 (tried, tested and reviewed)
Rose is perhaps the most romantic fragrance note ever. But, weirdly enough, as much as I love sexy perfumes, I've never been a fan of rose. Full stop, I've long considered rose perfumes to be old-fashioned, too old-lady-ish, and, in some cases, flat-out nauseating. Nonetheless, when I was tasked to find the best rose perfumes, I put my bias aside and tested over 40 rose scents to see if I could change my ways. This list of editor-tested rose perfumes ranges from simple soliflores (aka, only one floral note) to complex bouquets, and they cover every scent family imaginable, from zesty citrus and powdery musk to smoky oud and cosy vanilla scents. Even better, I found plenty of perfumes for under £100 – including top brands like Le Monde Gourmand, OUAI, and Bella Hadid's new fragrance line, Orebella – so you won't have to splurge to shop these gorge rose scents. Ahead, stop and smell the roses – starting at just £25. Am I a rose perfume fanatic now? I never thought the day would come, but yes, yes, I am. I'm sure you will be too once you sniff any of the 16 best rose perfumes below.

Our Honest Review Of Bella Hadid's Orebella Fragrance Line
Hot on the heels of her blonde bombshell debut at the Cannes Film Festival 2025, Bella Hadid has wasted no time making headlines once more, this time for the UK launch of her fragrance line, Orebella. After a buzzy initial release State-side, which left many of us Brits clamouring for the chance to try Hadid's first-ever foray into beauty, the wait is finally over - the brand has exclusively dropped at Selfridges, marking its first phase of international expansion. Pronounced 'aura-bella', Orebella (styled 'Ôrəbella) is made of four otherworldly looking scents: Window2Soul, Salted Muse, Blooming Fire and Nightcap. Even at first glance, this is no run-of-the-mill celebrity beauty brand. More sensorial than sickly sweet, Hadid's take on the fragrance world is loaded with intention. Leaning into her own personal experiences, the brand's ethos is set on redefining the fragrance category. Orabella leans into 'The Skinification of Scent' (or skin-first perfumes), where scent is reimagined as being a part of your skincare routine rather than the final beauty step of the day. The line up was consciously crafted as an answer to Hadid's own skin sensitivity to traditional fragrances. The innovative clean, vegan, alcohol-free offerings blends high-quality essential oils with a skin-loving base to create a 'bi-phase' formula, that's two layers: a top layer of aromatherapeutic essential oils and fine fragrances, and then the brand's proprietary scent-extending Ôrəlixir™ base, which boasts a nourishing cocktail of snow mushroom and five moisturising oils (think: camellia, jojoba and shea) that makes skin glow. Far from being a quick spritz-and-go, the nature of the fragrance means you'll need to take your time with it. First shake to activate, which combines both layers of the juice for seamless scent-filled application, then rub it into the skin for a grounding moment of self-care. The story behind the brand is one that is intrinsically personal to Hadid. Its origins story can be traced back to Hadid's family farm where she grew lavender and distilled oils to create her own essential oil blends and bespoke olfactive concoctions that functioned as healing rituals. But when turning, what she calls, her 'art project' into a fully fledged product, Hadid enlisted the industry's most esteemed noses from world-leading fragrance houses Firmenich and Robertet, to create a set of genderless and ageless scents that are inspired by nature and intended to enhance our individual auras. Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'By now we are almost always primed to anticipate a new celebrity beauty brand at any given moment, and while some feel like a failed attempt to capture the beauty zeitgeist, Orebella is anything but. If you've been following Bella Hadid on socials for as long as I have, the brand will feel entirely authentic. Whether it's the angel numbers she frequently posts on social media now being etched into each of the bottles or the fact that Salted Muse is inspired by her Palestinian heritage, her soulful and intentional approach from packaging to formula is immediately felt. As someone with very reactive skin, I was keen to see how the brand's revolutionary, first-of-its-kind skin perfumes would perform on my skin type and I'm happy to report they did not disappoint. Once you shake the bottle to combine the dual layered formula, the mist spritzes much like any other perfume but leaves a nourishing, comfortable second skin veil that smells refined and sophisticated. I immediately took to the brand's aphrodisiac Nightcap, which brims with warm cardamom, creamy vanilla and earthy sandalwood and leaves a slight sheen to the skin. While full bodied and potent as far as ingredients are concerned, the scent develops subtly and slowly for a wholly uplifting experience.' 1. Orebella Nightcap Eau de Parfum What the brand says: A revolution in the fragrance category, Orebella blends clean, vegan, and alcohol-free parfum with skincare-quality ingredients for fragrances that hydrate and cater to sensitive skin. The skin perfumes are long-lasting, develop throughout the day and provide an energy shifting sensorial experience. What we know: All four fragrances: Window2Soul, a sheer floral; Salted Muse, a woody marine; Blooming Fire, a warm floral; and Nightcap, a more-ish spicy scent, are formulated with bi-phase' formula : a top layer of aromatherapeutic essential oils and fine fragrances, and then the brand's proprietary scent- extending Ôrəlixir™ base, which boasts a nourishing cocktail of snow mushroom and five moisturising oils (think: camellia, jojoba and shea) that makes skin glow.

Conner Ives, Alexander Fury Dig Into Jimmy Choo's Archives
LONDON — Who hasn't watched — and pined after Carrie Bradshaw's Jimmy Choo heels — after her iconic 'Help, I lost my Choo!' moment on 'Sex and the City?' Yearn no longer: Fashion designer Conner Ives, fashion journalist and archivist Alexander Fury, and Jimmy Choo's creative director Sandra Choi have teamed up to curate and reissue styles from the brand's archives, from 1997 to 2001. More from WWD Unilever Invests 80 Million Pounds in Fragrance Research, Development in the U.K. Disney, KGL Collaboration Shines a New Light on Mickey Mouse How Bella Hadid's Jimmy Choo Heels Unified Milla Jovovich's 90s Cannes Dress and Kylie Jenner's Latex Allure at Orebella's London Launch Party Included in the revival are Bradshaw's feathery Jimmy Choo heels, which took flight from her foot as she dashed to make a ferry — making them available to purchase for the first time since their TV debut. 'We looked at three decades of work and dialed back to the first five years. Why? Because those years truly represent the heart and soul of Jimmy Choo — they're our roots, where it all began,' explained Choi. 'And in looking at these styles, I saw ideas that are still essential to Jimmy Choo today — eternal values of glamour, of femininity, combined with make and craft. This was a fascinating exercise for me — to see Jimmy Choo through other people's eyes,' she continued. Also included in the capsule are a pair of strappy heels from the brand's first collection in 1997; a pair of sultry silver thong heels designed in 2000, and a gold sandal topped with a violet flower from 2001. 'This collection is about where we've come from, and what we stand for and where we continue to go. It's a celebration, pure and simple — and Jimmy Choo can always ignite a party,' added Choi. Jimmy Choo's been on a hot streak lately. The launch comes shortly after Chloë Sevigny was announced as the face of Jimmy Choo's summer 2025 campaign earlier this month. Bella Hadid was also spotted wearing the brand's silver 'Scarlett' shoes at the London launch of her fragrance brand, Orebella.

The late Saunders was Choo's tutor, event organizers said. As well as the main design award, additional categories include the Sneaker/Athleisure Award, which recognizes the innovative design work in this area; and the Sustainability Award, which asks students to think about the environmental impact of their design solutions. The 2025 awards will also introduce the inaugural Craft of Shoemaking Award, sponsored by bespoke shoemakers Carréducker.

The design awards offer students significant cash prizes and the opportunity to earn industry recognition for their work. Finalists also gain mentoring experience from top names in the British footwear industry with the opportunity to network with market leaders. Monetary prizes this year include 3,000 pounds for first place, 2,000 pounds for second place and 1,500 pounds for the Sustainable Development Award, Sneaker/Athleisure Award, and the Stuart Weitzman MA Award winners.

'This country is a market leader in footwear design and manufacture in an industry worth over 730 million pounds in the U.K. alone,' Church said. 'The Cordwainers were founded to support footwear and that commitment to excellence and talent continues. We should celebrate the heritage craft of footwear design and manufacture in the U.K.' Over the last decade the company has given over 1 million pounds to support footwear education and the British footwear industry, providing scholarships, bursaries, and prizes to students on footwear and leather goods courses. The Cordwainers Footwear Awards are open to student designers across the U.K. on both MA and BA courses.
