Perfumer's Workshop Tea Rose is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1977. Tea Rose opens with Peony and Chamomile, settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Violet Leaf, and Geranium. Perfumer's Workshop's Tea Rose carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This perfume is a divisive love-it-or-hate-it affair. For rose purists, it's a photorealistic masterpiece that smells like a fresh-cut bouquet. For others, it's an overpowering floral bomb with a vintage, even 'funeral parlour' vibe. Proceed with caution and a single spritz.

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.

Its potent projection and longevity make it a poor fit for office wear, where it might overwhelm. However, its realistic, fresh rose character works well for casual outings and can be quite romantic given its floral focus. It is too strong and potentially polarising for formal events or 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

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • 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

Imagine burying your face in a dewy, freshly picked rose, complete with green stems and damp earth. Tea Rose opens with the bright, slightly sweet notes of peony and chamomile, quickly transitioning to an intense, hyper-realistic rose heart. A subtle greenness from violet leaf and geranium grounds the dominant floral, while a hint of cedar adds a clean, ever-so-slightly woody finish, preventing it from becoming too saccharine. It aims squarely for the authentic aroma of a garden rose.
