Rose scents are nothing new, but for a while, it seemed they were relegated to mere supporting roles in perfumes or banished altogether for being too "granny". Now, it seems the traditionally romantic note is poised for its big fragrance comeback, with starring roles in a new crop of scents. From the Bulgarian-rose bouquet of Fresh's new Cannabis Rose to the Damascus rose-based by Kilian's Liaisons Dangereuses to Paul Smith's aptly-named Rose, which blends the scent of a rose given to the designer as a gift from his wife, it seems everything's coming up roses.
But rest assured these aren't the dusty florals of old: tempered with deep notes like dark chocolate and woodsy accords, the new rose scents are sophisticated and sexy. Call it retro-modern if you will. And who do we have to thank for blazing this rosy trail? Perhaps Stella McCartney, whose signature fragrances have proved that rose can indeed be modern. For that I say: Thank you, Stella!
