Innocent old fashioned rose
Penhaligons has created a rose perfume that smells exactly like a real rose, one of those white or pink ones growing wild on a thorny bush at the country house. It is heady and has great staying power, so a little goes a long way. When I was a teenager I had a diary with scented pages and it was this aroma. That may be why I think of this as a youthful perfume, but I see how it could be worn by romantics of any age.
Penhaligons launched this scent in 1984. I can totally see this working alongside the flowery lace Laura Ashley dresses that were so popular with romantics in the early eighties. I still really enjoy this scent, and although it will always feel nostalgic and innocent to me..it is extremely relaxing.
If I can ever afford pure silk sheets, they will also need to smell like this! It's a fat lazy pink rose growing in the full sunlight of a park. This stuff has great staying power. A little goes a long way and you could even pour some into your bath...heavenly. Ever the scent for a maiden, the geranium and chamomile notes follow the rose around like a chaperone and keep it from being naughty.
