Yardley London Red Roses is an Eau de Parfum. Red Roses opens with Daisy, Neroli, and Rose, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Lilac, and dries down to a base of Amber and Sandalwood. Yardley London's Red Roses carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This is a classic Yardley rose, clean and bright, but don't expect a power-bomb. While some reckon the body spray performs better for longevity and sillage, it's generally considered to be a fleeting beauty. Perfect for a quick, charming refresh.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its clean, fresh floral profile and generally poor longevity make it perfectly suited for casual wear or as a quick refresher, especially on hot days. It's too subtle for formal events and likely too light for a date, but ideal for the office due to its non-intrusive nature.

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

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

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

Opens with a fresh burst of dewy rose, brightened by hints of neroli and a touch of green daisy. The heart unfurls with a soft, powdery blend of jasmine and delicate lilac, all underpinned by a subtle, warm embrace of sandalwood and amber in the dry down. It's a light, impressionistic floral bouquet.
