White Rose Floris Eau de Toilette

"White Rose" reminds me of a soap I smelled in my childhood. It is a very distant memory and also very fragile - just like the scent itself. I remember taking the soap reverently from the drawer of a dresser. It was wrapped in the finest silk paper and lay like a treasure in the drawer. Even wrapped in the paper, it smelled simply heavenly!

In my research, I found out that the "White Rose" soap from Floris still exists today. "White Rose" Eau de Toilette smells just as heavenly, and the slightly greenish liquid in the bottle awakens these memories in me.
But not only these... I close my eyes and immediately hear birds chirping and the rustling of leaves. The air is soft and warm. With "White Rose," I have been beamed into a park. It is not a park in England, no, this park is just a few kilometers from my home. I sit on a wrought-iron bench, and on both sides, there are large rose bushes. When it is completely quiet, you can hear bees and bumblebees. Green notes and white roses dominate the scene. Light as a wingbeat, gentle yet captivating, the scent caresses me. "White Rose" is one of the most beautiful rose fragrances - and also one that is unfortunately quite fragile.

After a short time, the scent develops creamy, while the sillage remains very subtle. Especially in the warm season, "White Rose" can be worn very well. However, the longevity on my dry skin is unfortunately low. Either you enhance it with the matching body lotion - which I have not tried - or you have to reapply more often. I usually dislike that, but with "White Rose," it is not a problem because there is no significant scent evolution. Still, I would wish for more longevity; I find it very unfortunate when something so beautiful dissipates so quickly. Whether the Eau de Parfum is more long-lasting will be difficult to find out, as the EdP has unfortunately been discontinued.

"White Rose" does not have a scent development; it is and remains an elegant, fine, very light rose scent. It is never intrusive, never too much. Very stylish and elegant, simply a dream!
