I have a lingering suspicion that my skin chemistry simply does this to rose scents. 'Florabotanica' acts much in the same way on my skin. I own both organic rose water and rose absolute oil and both get that slightly soapy quality on my skin over time, though the scent of those is too fleeting to make it very noticeable.

As a bonus, the bottle is very elegant and understated; certainly one of my favourite designs and very fitting for the juice it holds. There's something really comforting about this rose fragrance. Something almost clean smelling. Like sleeping in, on a sunny spring morning, in your clean bed sheets, with a single rose on your end table. Maybe a magnolia tree outside your bedroom window. I am only into natural smelling scents and I must say Paul smith rose fits the bill, besides those from L'Occitane and Crabtree&Evelyn. Unfortunate L'Occitane and Crabtree&Evelyn do not usually have EDP here., just EDT and EDT do not last long. Finding natural smelling ESP scents from brands other than the above 2 are not that easy given the fragrances from the above 2 brands are usually not that lasting.Lovely- pure, but with a solid fairytale-ey woody base. Spray lightly, you'd be suprised by how strong it is. You don't expect that, seeing the dainty bottle and the light pink liquid. All great, great price, great everything. Just hope they don't discontinue it. Clear,innocent,pure,bright,fresh,delicate,deep,calm,silky rose scent,there is nothing syntethic here,nothing old fashioned and old ladyish,nothing dry or cloying,this is just the real scent if real rose,just tha same scent you can detect from a bush of red,garden roses,fresh and rain washed,with the greenness of leaves(grean tea note),a hint of aquatic vibe(not an aquatic scent,I just mention pure drops of rain on red roses),and finally it dries down to a gentle woodsy cedar and green tea combo,which has a unisex vibe,all of this makes an unblievably realistic rose,bright,a bit sweet,refreshing and easy to die for,magnolia,musk and violet have very faded role here,magnolia provides a floral creaminess and musk and powder make this clean and a bit powdery I also really loved the Paul Smith Rose, in comparison, i would say this one is less juicy and woody and more powdery, delicate, smokey and soft but also has decent sillage, not near as much but very decent. I loved the tester and got myself a bottle in March. But then I felt it is too synthetic-fresh for me. Now it has gotten warmer outside and the lovely green shampoo-rose comes out as really refreshing.

Not sure if there are different versions as some have stated but for reference, I have a bottle created in 2018.An declaration of love!PAUL SMITH ROSE is a reflection of a world full of dreams and fantasy.this delightful fragrance is elegant with the essences of a spring rose garden mingled with the odor of a damp meadow after a rain.i am falling in love with it.this take on the infinite array of sensations.the ethereal scent is enough in itself to adorn bare skin. refined,elegant,awakening,fresh,soft, feminine,lnear,romantic,soft,sweet and delicate. this is fresh rose, very hard to find here. and very rosey, fresh, light. price is well, and very good to wear day and night too. I’m gonna keep it real simple. You like coco Mademoiselle? You like Chloe signature? Me too. We’re all pretending to be unique but we’re the same and there’s no shame in that. This will fit that same mysterious flirty everyday clean girl image we all die for.

The bottle comes in a very cute rose print pouch, but i personally dont like the bottle, this fragrance deserves a prettier, more feminine bottle.D:D I HAVE FOUND THE ONE! I had been searching for the perfect rose-scented perfume for a while, then Paul Smith Rose came along and completed my journey. This is the ultimate fresh rose scent. The first whiff smells like taking a deep breath at a freshly bloomed rose after a night of rain, but minus the greenness. It resembles Roses De Chloe, but not as airy. It has a very juicy and sweet note to it that mixes nicely with the rose and gives the scent more body. I think that comes from the magnolia, which is a very sweet flower. The green tea comes out after a few minutes and gives it a crisp element that sets it apart from the Jo Malone Red Roses which gets a little heavy and cloying to me over time. It also resembles the gorgeous dry-down of D&G Rose The One, without the sugary and minty top notes that I dislike. hours. 1 foot projection. This is very generic floral, which is not unique. It is linear throughout and is what is says it is - a floral rose perfume. It is not 100% natural smelling but better than most in terms of not smelling synthetic. It is not basic but not complex either. Steady frag which lovers of florals may have as a day to day frag. Sometimes piercing smell on the skin The actual scent is vibrant rose bush, juicy and succulent with a good amount of wood. Its absolutely beautiful....in very small doses xD. The one scent that consistently gets me compliments from men AND women, everywhere (and I do mean every. where.) I go. And for how accessible it is I am surprised not more people wear this! If it's an affair with a modern rose scent you're looking for, the search is over. This beautifully light fragrance still pays homage to the traditional English Rose but with a nod to fresh, reimagined florals. It's sparkling, it's innovative and it's sultry - classic rose, but not as we know it.
