Floris London White Rose is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1800. White Rose opens with Green Notes, Carnation, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Musk, Powdery, and Amber. Floris London's White Rose carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Floris White Rose is a divisive scent: some find it a timeless, elegant rose, fit for royalty, while others dismiss it as an "old lady" perfume or even a cheap air freshener. If you enjoy a powdery, classic floral, this might be for you, but it's definitely not a safe blind buy.

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
Also Works:
Summer Winter

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its delicate sillage and clean, subtle floral composition make it ideal for close-quarters like the office or casual wear. While elegant, its historical and somewhat traditional feel might not suit every modern formal event, and it's certainly not for sport.

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

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Opens with a fresh, slightly spicy green aldehyde kick before settling into a soft, romantic medley of rose, iris, and violet. The heart boasts a delicate, creamy floral bouquet, underscored by a persistent, yet airy, powdery warmth. The dry down retains a subtle muskiness blended beautifully with a hint of amber for understated elegance throughout.
