White Rose Floris for women

White Rose does begin with a soft, floral rose but quickly turns into a candied violet. There are notes that remind me of Kenzo's Flower on some level, but it is less powdery and more floral. The violet notes linger for quite some time before turning into a light musk that disappears quietly on my skin. It is a very feminine and somewhat old-fashioned scent, by which I mean classic not musty. Perfect for garden parties and picnics and attractive to men looking for a classic lady. My only gripe is it isn't the longest lasting fragrance on my skin, though it tends to linger on my clothes.

I love this one for its musk and amber more than anything else. It really sings in humid weather (which hardly ever happens here) when it turns sultry and sexy - in spite of its pristine name. Surprisingly, a bombshell fragrance.

What a fantastic violet scent!!! The name is indeed misleading but i bought it according to the reviews because I wanted a soft, safe violet scent to go to work at Uni... and I've found it, this is perfect!
I wish all my blind buys would be like this!! O.o

I agree with you all, about it not truly being a "rose" fragrance. The staying power with this is very weak. It smells like My Fair Lady by Washington Tremlett without the citrus. White Rose is a lighter fragrance than Ninfea by Profumum and Ninfea lasts forever. The rose in Rose De Siwa by MDCI Parfums is much more apparent.

I completely agree with JazzBirdSinger. This is a VIOLET scent, not a white rose scent. So disappointing.

white rose....?
hmmm me thinks this should have been more appropriately named
white violets
delicate, sweet, powdered candied violet with a light dusting of rose.
who would have thought i would find a beautiful VIOLET perfume
under the name of white roses?
i adore this, ultra feminine, romantic perfume.

Did not like it so much because of the very alcoholic strange syrupy opening. Maybe I'll give it another try sometime but for now I say no.

I'm into rose scents, but this one did not convince me as a rose scent. It's all flowery, maybe even white flowery, but not really a rose scent IMO. I'm not so much into violets or all-florals. Also the lasting power I experienced with the Floris scents I tried was never really good.

In the beginning this smells like rose, pure and simple, but the rose promptly disappears and I start smelling carnation (just like the one in Floris Malmaison) and transparent, slightly powdery violets that verge on leather. It’s a pretty floral scent, perfect if you want to be daintily feminine for a few hours. There’s a good bit of sillage, even after most of the floral notes have dried down to the dry, violet-suede ending.

As might be expected with a delicate scent like this, it doesn’t last very long, about 4-5 hours at most, but I did notice the violet scent on my clothes the following day. I’m not sure why this is called White Rose, since the rose was upstaged by a hoard of violets early on. If you like subtle and pretty violet scents that are not too sweet, woody or musky, White Rose is worth a try.

@adrienhuang & @adrien99 yes this perfume really smelled of white roses almost like a dried white roses actually. However the smell in this perfume is pretty transparent and you have to carefully smell it to recognize the smell.

cinsot, thanks for coming back on this for me! :) have a nice day, will make a try and see what happens :)

guys, do you know if this actually smell like white rose or more like any kind of rose? :) sorry I have got an obsession with white roses as to me they smell different ...

Blind purchased this one over the internet again.It pretty much becomes my habit now LOL.
Totally agree that this frag smells very soft & delicate. It stays close to the skin without being overbearing.i'm also agreed wth Melyhelly as this frag can get a little bit powdery on a hot weather. Well i can definitely smell the rose with a little touch of jasmine but not the violet and iris. Strangely,I also get the soft smell of white frangipani on my skin after a couple of hours which is not listed anywhere in the notes. On the drydown i can smell the trail of amber and musk which i find very lovely.

Anyone who's a big fan of roses should try this frag as it's really worth trying n having.

I am wearing White Rose right now from a vial, I've worn it in small amounts abiut 4 hours ago and I still smell little buffs of fragrance coming up from my decollete! It is very very soft rose, not complicated at all but quite knowing. It smells like white roses with a little powdery base of musk. I didn't know it lists so many notes.
It's teh kind of fragrance I like to wear when I'm not in a good mood to go out in the hard world, when I would rather stay home and take care of my painful body, having a cup of tea on my own, watching out of window with no one telling me what to do. A little moment for oneself in a spring morning, enjoying sun from a shadowed balcony with green lays around instead of stepping out like a wild nervous cat and pack yourself in the motorway to go and have your sun on your back from a grey window in a grey city.
White Rose is the woman inside, happy in herself not because of others approval or not (family, bfs, boss...).
I agree it smells delicate and romantic, only a little too much powdery in hot weather. It's not one that draws compliments but it's a very nice one to wear.

I just ordered this online and im REALLY excited for it. I hope it doesn't smell old lady though, So far I have heard only good things about it : ) I will be checking in later after I get it.

**edit**
It has a very nice scent! I don't think I will be able to wear it much though it does still smell more mature but not as mature as most rose scents get. A little goes a long way with this one :)

White Rose has been widely regarded as one of the loveable rose-motif fragrance at its height of allure and romance. The rich scent of rose is floating smoothly (but I would like to find out if the rose used is actually the precious 'white roses'), with a little 'kick' from the orris and amber. I found that the jasmine was barely noticeable. I was just getting that faint & illusionary violet at last which I found pretty 'dreamy' It is NOT those kind of sickly abundant rose aroma, even though rose is well dominated in this fragrance, but it is a bunch of 'deep-thinking' roses.
