Paul Smith Rose by Paul Smith

I absolutely love this perfume, seriously, I’d bathe in it. The top notes are my favorite among fresh scents: green tea, violet, and rose. This unusual blend gives it a different, fresh, and ‘urban’ twist, with a lightness that sets it apart from powdery fragrances that some find dated. It’s a young rose with dew, a ‘bubbly’ and energetic vibe that instantly puts me in a good mood. On my skin, the green tea stands out, sometimes the rose, other times the violet. It’s a versatile, simple, and pretty daytime scent, since I prefer oriental or woody fragrances for the night. Though delicate, its sillage and longevity are good, lasting between 6 to 8 hours. I consider it perfect for work or casual events; it’s not intrusive and appeals from young girls to older women. You can tell it’s high quality, and its fixation is adequate for a fresh scent. I use it a lot and will definitely buy another when I run out, which is rare for me. I support Azuriita’s suggestion: rose (and violet) lovers should try it.

This scent is simply enchanting, a treasure of fresh and light rose. The violet blend is sweet and romantic, but the green tea note makes it lively and cheerful, adding a tiny green/spicy touch that keeps you from getting tired of smelling it—a very different take on rose. Despite being fresh and light, it has great longevity; on my skin, it lasts over 12 hours. Perfect for everyday wear, the office, university, etc. Definitely worth trying and will likely become a must-have for anyone who loves rose or florals in general.

This perfume confirmed my love for roses. I was normally used to sugary, gourmand, or heavy roses, but this one is fresh, like it has dew on it, and I’ve loved it. I even received compliments, which is rare for me. On my skin, the tea isn’t very noticeable, but the violet is, a combination that’s my favorite. The sillage is acceptable, though it doesn’t last long on my skin. There’s nothing better than the previous reviews (:

Definitely a lovely fragrance where a delicate and ‘urban’ rose takes the lead, perfectly balanced with the other notes. I couldn’t buy it during our first meeting because I was rushing to catch my flight, but one of these days it will make its way into my collection, just like other Paul Smith scents. I recommend it to rose lovers to try 🙂

The bottle is minimalist and timeless. The scent is a pure floral dominated by rose. It’s a lovely, feminine perfume, but I don’t think it suits someone very young or in hot weather. For me, it’s perfect and a great discovery since I’d never tried this brand before.

The best perfume I own… it’s so subtle and delicate, the rose scent is perfect, I love it so much 🙂
