Floris London Rose Geranium is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1890. Rose Geranium opens with Citron, Green Notes, and Geranium, settles into a heart of Rosewood, Rose, and Palmarosa, and dries down to a base of Cedar. Floris London's Rose Geranium carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This isn't for everyone. Some call it an old-fashioned citronella candle from hell, others a sophisticated, green garden delight. This divisive scent isn't one you spray thoughtlessly, so proceed with caution if you aren't ready for a proper garden party.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport

Its moderate sillage and green, clean accords make it suitable for casual wear and outdoor activities. However, the potential for it to smell like 'bug spray' to some makes it a risky choice for formal events or close-quarter dates.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Rose Geranium opens with a pungent, almost sharp burst of green geranium and bright citron, immediately establishing its herbal, aromatic character. As it settles, a clean, subtle rose note weaves through, softened by the creamy undertones of rosewood. The cedar in the base lends an earthy, grounded quality, creating a fresh, verdant scent profile reminiscent of a dewy, traditional English garden.
