A superb creamy rose. Very, very rosy and floral, but with less fruity pink sweetness and more cream and powder facets. Delightful.

The Plush White-Rose Garden of Crypts, Queens & Swans...

Oh wow! This is an amazing fragrance. The image I get is of opening the ancient crypt of Joan of Arc, to find her perfectly preserved and fresh flowers growing around her. There is a slight funereal dirge of melancholia here due to the white rose theme, but it only adds to the multi-layered drama & mystique. For instance, this could also be a dancer in Swan Lake, with a white mist swelling into the orchestra pit. This is a powdery floral scent, yes, but it's so much more, with centuries of layers of complexity and history that it's easy to believe that this is what the late Queen Elizabeth II wore on her 1947 wedding day. On one hand it's hard to believe it was composed in 1800, but on the other hand, not hard to understand why they're still making it.

What pulls me in is the luminous violet that's nearly a lily, combined with carnation. I'm immediately struck by the similarities in the top notes to 1876 Histoires de Parfums (which was likely inspired by this), with the rose-carnation-violet combination, although the base is lighter here and more rooty-green with what smells like orris root or angelica. To say this is a powdery, vintage scent doesn't do it justice, because it's so floral and fresh, with a faint incense note underneath (not listed) that I'm not sure where it's coming from. Stepping back, overall I do get a fresh, white-rose garden. Signature scent worthy, and a must try for those who love florals. It's a love for me. Enjoy!

Annasuya

This is a beautiful scent of old world (and old money) vibes...very Her Majesty the Queen! I normally approach powdery fragrances with tremendous caution, but this one is definitely a win!

qofb

So this is apparently what Queen Elizabeth II wore on her wedding day in 1947. I was intrigued and wanted to try it as I have enjoyed other Floris fragrances.

I bought a small bottle blind online and I had a really strange experience with this fragrance. The first time that I sprayed it, it smelt like when you've left your roasting tin way too long in a hot oven, you've been roasting a beef joint and the meat juices have dried in the pan but not the fat... Weird huh?

Second time around, I got the powdery aspects, so this is not mainly rose at all to me, especially in the beginning of the fragrance. It's got more carnation, iris and violet, in that order. The rose is there though and I noticed it after a while. It's soft, white-pink and powdery but light and almost dusty, yet the fragrance also has a little soapiness.

This one just isn't for me, and not what I expected from the name at all. I decluttered and resold it.

This is a nice floral scent. I personally don't get any of the notes mentioned, not even rose. It has average strength but by the scent complexity it is rather simple than anything rich or complex, maybe because it was originally made so long time ago.

QuietLeafyLane

Floris is my favorite perfume house and rose is probably my single favorite scent, which is frustrating since so many rose fragrances miss the mark and smell fake. White Rose is one that comes close, 80% lovely but 20% too green, too synthetic, or both. I would give anything to be able to smell this perfume the way it was formulated 100 years ago.

ihughes123

It’s funny, I actually find this to be quite different to how many people find this perfume to be. Firstly, I think the rose is very prominent and I totally get the comparisons to a paired down ‘No 5’ the iris, the powder… I don’t find it to be sultry or opulent though. I’d describe this as an understated, realistic, but semi stylised, clear true rose, fresh powder and fresh greens. In face “semi” is a good way to describe it. Like your half in the garden and half in the boudoir. A beautiful white marble bath in a woodland of thriving white roses. And I don’t find it to be particularly “old lady” at all. For me, it’s actually quite youthful. Definitely summer dress and garden party, rather than high heels and opera gloves. Daytime luxury, perfect for when meeting the Queen.

scent-tourist

Frowsty, cloying, Victorian. If you've always wanted to smell like a nursery, now's your chance. White Rose smells exactly like baby powder. Or perhaps baby powder smells of it? I'm not sure which came first, nurses wearing the perfume or a similar scent being added to talcum powder. It all happened around the same time.

I bought this as a souvenir. St. Thomas' Hospital has a museum on campus dedicated to Florence Nightingale, full of interesting facts about her life, her time in Crimea, her hospital reforms and some of her more unique ideas about nursing. All the way in the back corner you'll find Florence Nightingale's actual bed and rug, as well as a decorative wooden box beside a plaque explaining that if you lift the lid, you can discover exactly what Flo smelled like, with a photo of her handwritten note to "Mr. Floris" and a thank-you from the museum to Floris of London for their help with the exhibit. It's quite charming! I don't care for the scent at all but it was a rare day out during lockdown 2022 and I bought a small bottle as a memento of that weird, weird time. It is of historical interest but not something I would wear.

BerryRose

I rarely write negative reviews because I don't purchase fragrances that I don't love, and I certainly wouldn't wear anything that I don't love either. But this was an ill-advised blind buy ("If you like Chanel No. 5 you'll like this").

On paper I should love this. To start with, like Chanel No. 5, White Rose is a soft floral in the classical style, and the recommendation above is from a beauty journalist who has almost never steered me wrong when it comes to fragrances. I also love rose perfumes, and think they suit my personal style. Furthermore, this has so many notes aside from rose that I absolutely love: aldehydes, carnation, violet, iris, and powdery notes. I felt like I couldn't lose and that this would be a beautiful rose fragrance with timeless elegance, something Queen Elizabeth II or a Downton Abbey character would wear.

This isn't a rose forward fragrance at all, but a very powdery abstract soft floral. That by itself wouldn't be bad by any means, after all Chanel No. 5 is an abstract soft floral and it's an absolute masterpiece. Unfortunately, this abstract soft floral smells like a cheap air freshener, the wax kind that my grandma used to buy from dollar stores for her bathroom, and that you still occasionally see in cheap restaurant washrooms. I cannot imagine wanting to smell like this, just the thought makes me embarrassed. From what I can tell browsing the reviews of all the Floris fragrances in the incomparable Perfumes: The A-Z Guide (2010) the house produces nothing especially good or noteworthy. Maybe some of their newer fragrances are better, but they seem to be trading on their British heritage and their Royal Warrants from the late QE2 and the former Prince of Wales. Based on this fragrance I have zero interest in exploring this fragrance house any further.

fayedomnia

Starts like a generic rose air freshener then quickly transforms into something like flower by kenzo with added aldehydes (a more sparkly version). Good longevity (6hrs) and moderate projection. I like it.

tashwakefield

Being the sentimentalist that I am, I bought a bottle of White Rose shortly after the Queen passed away. I have a soft spot for fragrances with a history behind them and I thought what better way to commemorate the late monarch than to add the fragrance she wore on her wedding day to my collection. It was a blind buy, as they all tend to be nowadays for me, I'm so glad I found a bottle, what a beautiful timeless fragrance. That Floris quality which is the epitome of the brand is very apparent from the get go. It's so wonderfully blended, from the initial blast of pure rose, which swiftly takes on the complexity which only a fine fragrance can truly emulate. In short, White Rose smells like the monarchy; expensive but not flashy, timeless but classical enough to remain relevant; an institution not to be questioned, but to be appreciated by those of us who understand the history and majesty there incurred. Loved beyond reason.

SarabeineHoney

I smell like an actual white rose in a garden

Stampinator

Beautiful, fresh, light and transparent... smells like a bunch of freshly picked flowers (roses in particular) the leaves and stems with a touch of powder. The aldehydes don't jump out at you... I don't get soap, I get more of a fancy bath oil/ bubble bath, in a good way. It doesn't smell vintagey to me, it smells timeless, completely pretty, understated and very classy. I totally get why Queen Elizabeth II (allegedly) wore this as a wedding fragrance. It is delightful and absolutely not offensive.

joyjoy

A review on the body lotion, not the EDT. I was inspired to order this scent last Thursday when the Queen passed. I decided I wasn’t going to blind buy the fragrance though so I went with the lotion. It came today & I love it! I definitely smell the rose & it’s very clean and fresh. Has a sort of you just took a long relaxing bath vibe. I think it reminds me a little of the old Crabtree & Evelyn rose scent. And maybe one or two of their other scents I used to like back in the 90s. So yeah, it’s a bit nostalgic but I wouldn’t say it’s dated. The lotion isn’t strongly scented which I actually appreciate as I’ll be able to use it all over. It’s not perfumey or overwhelming in any way. I’m definitely getting the shower gel or the soaps but I still want to test the perfume before buying. I’m hoping the scent of the lotion is very true to the EDT.

ingeneuxo

-White Rose is pleasant, feminine.
-Green in the dry-down. But thankfully not as overtly-green as SL- Sa Majeste la Rose.
-Spectacular performance for a EDT concentration.
-Still, I think Infusions de Rose by Prada makes for a more interesting rose scent. (Citrus rose).
-Do check that one out if you enjoy the idea of wearing fragrances with a 'cold powdery base'. (-)

LSAUG

I wanted to like this one and sadly I didn't. I think it is to aldehydic for my taste. I just can't get past the aldehyde bomb. It is the same thing for me and Chanel #5. Queen Elizabeth wears this one and I admire her so much but it just wasn't for me because the rose is to abstract, not like a living real rose.

Keldur

A clean, wet rosy violet, fresh and light. I don't find it as powdery as described. This is above all else a fresh scent and surprisingly spicy and green at times.

It's quite English and timeless and completely unoffensive. It worked in 1800, it works today and it will work another hundred years from now. Absolutely worth trying, besides having such an impressive history it is a good scent though it has poor sillage and longevity. It's a very safe scent and has a natural smell.

HeavyBeatsUK

The Queen wearing it attracted me and the date it was launched in 1800.

Sadly I don’t get much of a sense of luxury or a rose-tinted version of history - it’s too faint to smell on yourself.

Also, it’s not very white rosey but more of an effervescent violet. Could be nice for summer, although if I wanted a violet in summer on my non-perfume-projecting skin, I’d go for Guerlain Insolence.

White Rose by Floris is very ladylike and clean. Not in the slightest bit sexy. Very traditional British. It reflects how fragrance was worn in 1800 - to get wafts of cleanliness here and there but never to have a perfume cloud around you and absolutely never to be sexy.

It’s nice to think of sharing something with Queen Elizabeth II but sadly it lacks grandeur and luxury, it reminds me of the floral ambi-pure plug in air freshener that my grandma used to perfume her house with. They smelled nice for the 1990s clean house of a well groomed lady in her 60s, but not for someone to wear as a fragrance.

Perfume Beginners

I am a rose scent enthusiastic and I heard that the Queen wore this on her wedding day and thus I blind bought it out of curiosity. I have to say it is a bit different from my expectation, but still in a good way. I thought it would be a more floral and delicate rose scent with some freshness from a combination of white flowers. However, I noticed its powderiness the moment I sprayed it. Its powdery vibe is very soft that it does not offend anyone and it blends well with the rose. It creates a soapy, clean, baby-like scent that makes me feel calm and relax. Overall, I am enjoying this fragrance very much and it does not disappoint me even though it was a blind buy.

florally

If this is what 70 year old ladies smell like, then this 34 year old is signing herself up. ;)

It's the ultimate powdery rose, like you're fresh out of the bath and wrapped up in soft, clean cotton sheets that have been sprinkled with rosewater. The kind of scent that feels like home, and vintage femininity, and kindness. I think it's perfect.

rosequeen

Chalky. I finally figured out what's wrong with Floris White Rose, and it's that it goes way beyond "powdery" and into chalk territory. The perfumer's text, "the perfume has stayed modern," is a huge misrepresentation. There's nothing modern about Floris White Rose. It's definitely an authentic historical fragrance. No reformulating it for the 2010 crowd; I suspect the White Rose they were selling around then when I bought my bottle (blind buy) is what it smelled like in 1800 when they first made it. (I haven't smelled a bottle sold in 2018, so I don't know if what's in the stores now is exactly the same.) And you're not evoking the Victorian era by wearing it either; it's strictly the Georgian era here. Nothing risque; staid, proper, and ultimately off putting.

Being 72 years old, I can say this: Floris White Rose is definitely a little old lady fragrance. It's what little old ladies wore in the 1950's, and probably well before then. It and a couple of other Floris fragrances from that era (like Stephenotis, sorry, I didn't check the spelling) unfortunately branded Floris the fragrances of little old ladies, which Floris has since the 1980's done a lot to correct.

And to my nose anyway, it isn't particularly rosy. It's like a huge chalky curtain of iris and jasmine blasting a path between the wearer and anyone within 10 feet. Lasts for hours. No discernible rose or carnation notes. And certainly not a fragrance to attract anyone. A "proper" fragrance for the very old woman who seldom wears perfume but wants to feel dressed properly for the public on special occasions: Christmas, Easter, someone's wedding. That's none of us.

Floris added actual rose notes to its similar fragrance Snow Rose, which make it wearable, if not sensational.

Nearly 5 years later: I dredged out my bottle of White Rose from the nether reaches of my perfume closet yesterday. Some of the ghastly wall of chalk has departed from this fragrance, but certainly not all of it. And no one should have to wait 15 years for this to happen. (I think I bought this bottle at least 15 years ago.) But it's not so horrible I can't give it to a friend I actually like. I'll report back if she gags and immediately passes it on to someone else.

Alces Alces

White Rose opens with rose of course, but there's such beautiful iris and violet in this that it is more than just a rose soliflore. It reminds me very much of YSL Paris, except without the mimosa, sandalwood, hyacinth and other notes that make Paris so complex. If you reduced Paris to its essence, this would be it.

White Rose is not as powdery as the note pyramid makes it appear. The green and floral notes dominate. Best of all, there is no peony in this. While I love peony, the rose and peony combination has been done so much that it's nice not to have peony for a change.

Iris takes over in the dry down, which comes within an hour after application on me anyway. If I have any criticism for White Rose, it's that sillage and life span are limited. True, it's an EDT, but I wish it projected more.

If you are seeking a lovely quality rose skin scent, White Rose would be a great choice. Nothing offensive or hard to take about this at any point, just a beautiful classic.

rexrealm

It's said that Queen Elizabeth II wore this perfume on her wedding day and still occasionally wears it. She is also very fond of D.R. Harris Almond bath products as well as Pear's soap.

curlykitty8

This is an old fashioned, white rose version of the entire YSL Paris line. Romantic, violet laden and powdery. It discreetly lingers for hours and hours, feminine, sure of herself and elegant. White Rose is uncomplicated and simple but then it's well recognized that "simplicity is the key to beauty."
Lovely and classic!

nektarinka

When you spray this on,straight away you are hit with a strong white rose /white peony - it is sort of spicy nose tingling rose sensation - which may well be because of the presence of the clean and sharp iris note.

Overall it feels crisp, clean, rosy, spicy and to my nose very surprising it has a smell of the blue tin NIVEA cream I remember from my childhood, not nivea soft, but the original blue tin and it is sort of a spicy rose nivea.

Projection is non existend, fades away quite quickly on my skin and you have to press your nose to your sking to smell it.

Maybe good for layering with other clean type of scent or spritz after the shower if you want to feel clean and maybe even layer with Nivea cream itself

nada

Actually,if I wanted a clean simple rose fragrance I would go for this one rather than Damarose by Xerjoff which smells very similar but costs £500...

m_mtz40

House of Floris no longer makes edt or edp of Rose Geranium which I've just read was favored by Marilyn Monroe. I would love to smell...

Hélio Sérgio Rocha

A rich floral indeed!

Green opening with aldehydes and lemon notes, quite fresh and not overpowering.

Carnation and Iris are louder here

Spicy and Watery Rose, soft and smooth around its development on skin brings a delicate touch.

Jasmim, not so clean and pale, but natural here appears most of the time too.

It is a mix of flowers with a touch of freshness...
Evokes peace, relaxing time around the corners of a huge park as Hyde Park but do not forget it happens on summer and it is not as powerful as it looks

:P

Nice job,

sherapop

More flower power from Floris, White Rose offers a good blend of various petals--it's not just a standard frumpy British Tea Rose for dowagers. A bit soapy in the drydown, in a good way.

It's surprising to me to learn that this composition was launched way back in 1800, because it does not smell dated at all--unless of course one has accepted the "no plants were sacrificed in the production of this perfume" twenty-first-century fragrance model.

I presume that some tweaking has been done to the formula of this perfume since 1800, but I must say that the flowers smell natural, not abstract, so perhaps Floris still uses perfume techniques acquired over centuries rather than jumping on the synthetic organic chemistry bandwagon. The house of Floris was established way back in 1730 and they claim to be the oldest extant family-owned perfumery. (LVMH, Coty Prestige and P&G--perhaps even Estée Lauder--may very well be scheming to "rectify" this state of affairs...)

White Rose smells like a well-made floral perfume to me. Above all, I do smell roses (unlike some reviewers), which is always a good thing, but the other floral elements add to the complexity of the bouquet. There is also some darkness in the base. I do not personally find this composition very sweet, as some have claimed. To me it's more soapy than sweet, and I would never compare it to candied violets. A chacun son nez!

dmaw

Found a half-empty bottle at the Goodwill store in Chelsea, Manhattan for $7.99. Thought I had struck gold, but found that it had gone skunky. :(

DresdenDoll

With a touch of parma violet sweetness and powder, this to me smells like expensive soap, plain and simple. No rose or aldehydes, just a touch of soapy jasmine and violet. I agree with JazzBirdSinger that White Violets would be a more appropriate name for this one. It's very nice, but I would prefer to simply use scented soap for the same effect.

Majesty

Floris White Rose is one of the few floral perfumes I really like. It's such a powdery veil of white roses and peony(I can smell peony although it is not listed) so smooth and transcluscent that makes this perfume magical.Although it contains aldehydes you will barely understand it.It does resemble to Calvin Klein's Eternity,they both share the slightly soapy,clean,powdery aspect but Floris White Rose is much more sophisticated. My only complain is the poor lasting power,I shower in it to make it last.The good part of it is that it gives me the excuse to buy the matching body products,hehe!

LLL3

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.

Capricious Capricorn

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.

TheGorgon

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

mseidoom

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.

leeyah87

I completely agree with JazzBirdSinger. This is a VIOLET scent, not a white rose scent. It smells just like those candied violet mints.

melia

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.

Habanita

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.

Doc Elly

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.

lialuvhatetragedy

@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.

adrienn99

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

adrienn99

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 ...

lialuvhatetragedy

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.

Mellyhelly

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.

amandahuang

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.
