British Rose

The Body Shop British Rose is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. British Rose opens with Bergamot and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Rose, Peony, and Water Lily, and dries down to a base of Peach and Musk. The Body Shop's British Rose carries a Favourite verdict, a rose-led wear.

This is a clean, fresh, and exceptionally realistic rose scent. It's often compared to rosewater, perfect for layering, and a fantastic, budget-friendly choice for rose lovers, despite its frequently mentioned short longevity.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its lighter projection and fresh, inoffensive rose profile make it highly suitable for office or casual wear where subtlety is key. The short longevity means it's less ideal for dates or formal events where a more lasting impression might be desired, but many users find it perfect for everyday lightness.

About

Imagine a dewy British rose garden after a light shower. Uplifting citrus notes of bergamot and tangerine give way to a fresh, aquatic heart of rose, peony, and water lily. A soft, clean musk and a whisper of peach in the base ensure it remains light and delicate, never venturing into heavy or cloying territory.
