Rose-scented perfumes are having somewhat of a comeback, with more and more pretty glass bottles being filled with rose scents and pretty pink tones. Rose is one of the most classic choices when it comes to perfume and can often be found in the ingredients even when you don't expect it. More woody fragrances are softened by the addition of rose, whereas much lighter perfumes can benefit from the addition of rose to create sweeter notes, often preventing chemical undertones.
There are multiple different roses used in perfumes; which one is used depends on whether the fragrances calls for a more earthy scent or something sweet and floral. So even if you think you dislike the smell of rose in perfumes, it might just be the one type you aren't a fan of.
Rose is associated with romance, which makes a rose-scented perfume a beautiful gift, especially for Valentine's Day. So whether you're buying for someone you love, or simply want to treat yourself, our round-up of rose-scented perfumes will help you find the perfect pick.
