Gianfranco Ferré Ferré Rose Princesse is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2008, created by Karine Dubreuil-Sereni. Ferré Rose Princesse opens with Blueberry, Bergamot, Lemon, and Orange, settles into a heart of Rose, Violet Leaf, Magnolia, and Lilac, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Rosewood. Gianfranco Ferré's Ferré Rose Princesse carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This 'princess' flanker is a divisive one. It's either a joyful, carefree fruity rose for spring and summer, or a synthetic, overly sweet offering that's best left to teenagers. Don't expect depth, but do expect a prominent blueberry note.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its light, fruity-floral character, make it a good fit for casual daytime wear. While some find it too youthful, its pleasant, inoffensive nature means it could work in an office setting if applied lightly.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

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

Ferre Rose Princesse opens with a bright, sweet burst of blueberry and green apple, uplifted by a zesty hint of lemon and bergamot. The heart blossoms into a gentle, modern rose, softened by the delicate presence of magnolia and lilac, with violet leaf adding a subtle green touch. It settles into a soft, musky base, underpinned by warm sandalwood and a whisper of rosewood, creating a sweet and subtly woody drydown.
