A fleeting rose dream
"White Rose" reminds me of a soap I smelled in my childhood. It's a very distant memory, and a very fragile one at that - like the scent itself. I remember taking the soap reverently from the drawer of a dresser. It was wrapped in the finest tissue paper and lay in the drawer like a treasure. Still wrapped in the paper, it smelled simply heavenly!
During my research, I learned that the soap "White Rose" by Floris actually still exists today. "White Rose" Eau de Toilette smells just as heavenly and the slightly greenish liquid in the bottle evokes those memories in me.
But not just those... I close my eyes and immediately hear birds chirping and leaves rustling. The air is soft and warm. With "White Rose," I've been beamed into a park. It's not a park in England, no, this park is just a few miles from where I live. I'm sitting on a wrought iron bench and to the left and right of it are large rose bushes. When it's really quiet, you can hear bees and bumblebees. Green notes and white roses dominate the scenery. Light as the beat of a wing, gentle yet beguiling, the fragrance caresses me. "White Rose" is one of the most beautiful rose fragrances - and also one that is unfortunately quite fragile.
Already after a short time, the fragrance develops creamy, the sillage remains very subtle. Especially in the warm season, you can wear "White Rose" very well. The durability is on my dry skin but unfortunately low. Either you pimp it with the corresponding body lotion - but I haven't tried that - or you have to re-spray more often. I usually don't like that at all, but with "White Rose" it's not bad, because there's not much of a scent progression recognizable here. Nevertheless, I would wish for more durability, I find it a pity when something so beautiful evaporates so quickly. Whether the Eau de Parfum is more durable, will be difficult to find out, because the EdP was probably unfortunately discontinued.
"White Rose" has no fragrance development, he is and remains an elegant, fine, very light rose fragrance. At the same time, it is never intrusive, is never too much. Very stylish and elegant, simply a dream!

For me as a sworn rose lover, it is also a wonderful fragrance and the comparison with a fine-smelling soap is very apt!

A beautiful description is that! By the way, I have the impression that White Rose has been reformulated and very diluted. I felt the same as you when testing. Then I bought an older 2nd hand bottle and voila: 3 times as strong and durable!

If the scent does not last long on your skin, then oil it properly after showering with a neutral body oil for dry or mature skin. White Rose lasts very well in and of itself.

I got this once for Valentine's Day as a gift.... always a nice memory and an enchanting scent! Your description triggers me back to it .... hopefully it will never tip.

Wonderfully in words you have captured it, this rose. So delicate it is, so beautiful it is.

Described in wonderful words, I can also still remember these fine soaps well. It must not always be spectacular, unobtrusive and elegant is also beautiful.

Very nicely written. I really like this scent too. - How wonderful the times when a fragrant soap was looked at in awe. I have similar childhood memories.

It reminds me of the scent of my great aunts' dressers - a scent you never forget.

A very fine fragrance! Probably too unspectacular for most.

This would be a rose scent I might like - except for the weak longevity.

Scents that take you to such beautiful places are something special. Nachsprühen I also do not like so. Sometimes it's just unfortunately no other way. Have also a few so fragile scents.

That reads quite wonderfully and makes extremely curious . By the way, I know this fascination of noble soaps in dressers and linen closets only too well. Memories that seem to shape eternally :)
