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 Water Lily, Rose, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Musk and Peach. 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.

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.
