I truly have a passion for rose perfumes! After my recent move, I realized that I’ve accumulated over 30 bottles. I’ll snap a picture of my collection for you all before I organize them. Today, I want to share 12 rose perfumes that are perfect for spring and summer! They’re refreshing yet exude an undeniable charm. All these perfumes capture the scent of fresh roses, layered with green leaves, fruit, delicate wood, and white musk. So, they don’t feel too heavy and can definitely hold their own in hot summer weather. Let’s explore these categorized fragrances!
Radiant Skin Scent
Lancome – IDÔLE
This perfume opens with a lively burst of fruity scents, welcoming the unabashed bloom of roses in sunlight—fresh, vivacious, and full of life. The scent of rose intertwines with the purity of white musk, imprinting a floral aroma on the skin that is warm, but not cloyingly sweet. Picture a girl, twirling her dress, carrying the brightness of summer in her radiant smile.
Classic and Restrained
SMN – Rosa Novella
This fragrance greets you with a cool, clear impression. The freshness of lemon and slightly bitter herbal notes create a sense of clarity. Picture a rose blooming in a garden corner, with dew, accompanied by a clean, slightly powdery soap scent. It presents a classic yet restrained quality, like an aristocratic lady of subtle elegance.
Sweet and Cute
1. The Mood – Sicilian Rose
An affordable rose perfume that a girl from any background could love. Initially, you can smell the sweet lychee and pear, lively and adorable. The rose, under the auspices of the fruity scent, becomes warm and sweet. The woody undertones make it light and comfortable—a fragrance fitting for a sweet and respectful young lady.
2. Guerlain – Rose Rose
This perfume is reminiscent of a lychee rose scent with dew drops and green leaves. There are no added embellishments, yet one can perceive a vibrant life force and innocent beauty of a young girl. Picture a girl in a white dress standing before you, flipping her hair, and looking at you with her dewy eyes—an instant of radiant beauty.
Cold and Aloof
1. Kilian – Ice Rose
This scent offers an unusual aroma of rose gold wine. The spicy juniper berries blend with the fresh sweetness of cucumber. The floral scent surfaces gently, unlike the richness of common roses, it is as if frozen by ice and snow—emanating a cold and clear aura. Imagine an aloof young lady with a proud gaze and a soft, gentle heart.
2. Penhaligon’s – Luna
The fragrance opens with a sweet and sour lemon, fresh with a hint of chill. A few minutes later, the acidity of the lemon mellows, and the rose comes to the forefront. Not flamboyant or common, under the cover of juniper berries, it becomes even more pure and refreshing. This evokes the image of a cool yet appealing woman who doesn’t press others for attention.
Neutral Rose
1. Diptyque Lombre Dans Leau
This perfume is like arriving at a lake surrounded by plants after a rainfall. The vast expanse of greenery and sourness rushes towards you, creating a sense of sharpness. As you push through the vegetation, you’ll find a shy rose hidden away, radiating a delicate sweetness, yet embodying a spirit of calm detachment.
2. Bon Parfumeur – 101
A cool, neutral rose: the sour and cold lemon, the spicy greenness of cardamom, and the deep and mysterious guaiac wood, all reflect off the petals like moonlight. This makes the rose seem defiant yet lonely. The breath between them is full of clarity and coolness, reminiscent of a calm, nonchalant personality who doesn’t seek approval, but still commands attention.
Elegant and Airy
1. Frederic Malle Rose Tonnerre
The fragrance starts with a rich aroma of red wine, elegantly intoxicating like a bewitching night. The next moment, you seem to walk into a sea of roses, each blooming passionately. Cool dew hangs on the green leaves, signifying not only sophistication but also a strong vitality.
2. Chanel – Paris Paris
An eye-catching woody rose, the floral scent is infused with sweet and sour citrus and spicy pink pepper—just like the confidence radiating from sunshine. The calm and slightly cool guaiac wood is like a refreshing breeze on your face, comfortable and lazy. At this moment, transform into a Parisian lady, astonishing the years with her romantic elegance.
Fresh and Gentle
1. Diptyque -EAU ROSE
A very girlish rose perfume. Initially, it gives off a lychee-like sweetness, appearing adorable and gentle. Afterwards, it transitions into a light rose scent, not powdery or overpowering, but carrying the freshness of dew and green leaves. It’s reminiscent of a freshly bloomed rose, invoking a sense of protectiveness.
2. JO LOVES- Water Rose & Lemon Leaves
The fragrance a campus belle would wear. The opening has a refreshing lemon note and green leaves, highlighting the clean and elegant aquatic white rose. Unlike the flamboyant red rose, it is always cool, reserved, and non-competitive. It might remind you of the unattainable crush from your school days.
