Paul Smith Rose is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2007, created by Antoine Maisondieu. Rose opens with Violet and Tea, settles into a heart of Rose and Magnolia, and dries down to a base of Musk and Cedar. Paul Smith's Rose carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Paul Smith Rose is the ultimate fresh, 'straight from the garden' rose that dodges all the usual 'old lady' criticisms. It's a crowd-pleaser and a definite hidden gem, though be warned: some find its green tea note a bit too sharp or synthetic, and performance is a bit hit or miss.

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.

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

Imagine burying your nose in a dewy, freshly cut pink rose, complete with green stems and leaves. This scent opens with a vibrant, photorealistic rose lifted by a prominent green tea accord and a hint of delicate violet. As it settles, the rose deepens, softened by a touch of magnolia, before drying down to a clean, subtle musk and a whisper of cedar, maintaining its fresh, natural elegance throughout.
