The Coveted Duchess Rose
Most Loved
Rose’s coy eau de parfum conceals something more sensual – a hint of musky wood. Alas, the Duke is off gallivanting while his sweet young bride aches with desire. Won’t someone (anyone) release her?

Nice perfume
Lovely flowery perfume. After trying this sample I went and bought a bottle for myself although relatively expensive it's worth the treat! It really has that strong burst of rose and is very feminine but not over powering

by guest
Nice parfume
It's a nice perfume, I like the packaging, thought the smell I wasn't too keen on, it's just not to my liking. It"s not bad, it's just a personal preference. but it stayed on long, and could still smell at the end of the day so good quality
by guest
Really strong scent
I’ll be honest don’t know much about this brand but the scent is very long lasting, it fills the room could even be used as a room spray. Feels like it could be a unisex by its smell, but that’s just me.
by guest
Nice but quite simple
A simple yet eloquent scent, a little underwhelming even one could say and I cannot say it lasted very long. It's overall a nice scent, not too artificial and not too strong. I am happy I don't have a full bottle
by guest
Best perfume I ever tried
This perfume is absolutely perfect. I was very delighted when had opened a box and smelled it. It's very distinguished scent, for a elegant woman. Very sophisticated. It's perfect to wear for a special occasion. I definitely reccomend.
by guest
Beautiful
Lovely long lasting scent, but not overpowering, loved it and will buy. I would buy for my sister as she likes the same scent as me. You can not go wrong with this perfume, it is beautiful, fragrant, maybe not for evening
by guest

Coveted Duche Rose perfume sample
I recently received a sample of the perfume to test. It was a sweet floral smell. Unfortunately it wasn’t for me or to my taste. It did have a lovely floral smell but just not fit me. I’m sure it would make a lovely present for Amy one who likes the floral smell
by guest
Beautiful !
I'm a huge fan of Penhaligons fragrances, my favourite for some time has been The Favourite - very apt! - after a sales assistant recommended it as a replacement for the now discontinued Vivienne Westwood Boudoir. The Coveted Duchess Rose is equally beautiful and reminds me so much of Carnal Flower by Frédéric Malle, another favourite of mine. However it is a little softer but tested on my wrist, two sprays lasted all day. I would most definitely buy this, it's exquisite.
by guest
Smells divine
I've been looking for a new scent for a long time for the autumn and I think this just might be the one. It's a lovely floral scent but it's not too strong. I love it. This is going to be my special occasion perfume.
by guest
Smells great
I got this and couldn’t wait to try it. With all base and top notes releasing a unique fragrance that leaves you guessing. It’s quite and alluring sensual fragrance that’s ideal to wear any time of day for that sophisticated finish.
by guest
Great Scent!
It has a lovely unique scent quite musky but still womanly. It seems to last for quite a while and has a different undertone scent once it's been on for a while. It's very pleasing and warm. Not my usual everyday perfume but one I could get used to definitely. Always good to try new scents!
by guest
Nice powerful fragrance
This is a Nice powerful fragrance. It’s strong and musky but smells really luxurious and expensive. Great woody and kind of masculine scent but works well. Got lots of compliments wearing this and the scent lasted all day,
by guest
Beautiful smell that lasts
This perfume is exactly what I was looking for. It has a scent that lasts, but is not too strong especially when you first put it on. It has a very feminine perfume scent and smells wonderful. My boyfriend loves the smell because it is a subtle rose smell that’s isn’t overpowering. It’s so pretty too.
by guest

New fragrence
Not heard of this brand before. Lovely illustrations on the packaging so looks very unique. The scent was all so quite unique too, not personally keen on this. But its great to try a new scent to see if its worth a purchase.
by guest
Lovely perfume
Lovely eau de parfun from penhaligon s it is nice and remind me of spring time. Quite strong flowery smell. Loved the packaging . You can wear it during daytime or night time. I would definitely recommend this eau de parfum
by guest
Smells good but not my sort of perfume
This smells great it’s just not my sort of scent I’d usually go for I definitely think the smell is abit strong for me my sister likes it and my mum thinks it smells better than I do but everyone is different I guess
by guest
LOVE THE FRAGRANCE
I enjoy trying out new perfumes but this particular one really caught my attention, it's modern, stylish, feminine, flowery and has a lasting scent that left me feeling so good right from the very first spray of contact on my skin. I like to spray a little perfume on my hair and eeven had some people comment my hair smelled amazing. i recommend this perfume to anyone who hasn't tried it.
by guest
Stunning
The Coveted Duchess Rose Eau de Parfum Is absolutely stunning!! It’s actually lasts all day and more! It’s fit for a queen not just a duchess!! I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a new perfume!!
by guest
Powerful
I’m not overly sure about this perfume. It has a strong scent of rose and musk, which I found overbearing. On a positive note it did last the whole day, so if you like the scent you are onto a winner.
by guest
It's lovely
I'm not good at describing what I can smell in a perfume. I can smell rose in this tho it's not overpowering. I'm either I love a perfume or I hate it. This one is really nice. Can't quite make my mind up if it's a special occasions or an everyday sorta perfume as I feel it could be worn for both and work well.
by guest
Lovely long lasting smell
I haven’t heard of this perfume before but always looking for new ones to wear, it has a kind of sweet smell and a hint of floral but not too much, a few pumps of perfume and the smell stays on all day, I would recommend and would purchase again
by guest

by guest
Nice
Got this and was a little unsure as I have a favourite that I use all the time dont we all. But was surprised lovely floral smell and long lasting had many compliments and would definitely buy again and recommend to friends and family love smelling
by guest
Strong scent
I really liked the scent of the product. There was a hint of oud which I liked. The rose is beautiful its very fragrant. The scent is really strong when you spray it but it goes down after. It can be extremely overwhelming when your first spray it . If you like a really strong rose this is great. Penhaligons never disappoint. It's really beautiful. Perfect evening perfume.
by guest
Lovely smell
I was looking forward to receiving and trying this perfume as it's a different scent to what i would normally choose for myself. It is a lovely smell, but it is not for me. I won't be recommending this to a friend but thanks for the opportunity to try it
by guest
Beautiful
The fragrance notes are Head: Mandarin Heart: Rose Centifolia, Damascene Rose Base: Vanilla, Wood. They combine to make the most amazing scent! My sister wore this on her wedding day so I always have happy memories everytime I wear it
by guest
Lovely Smell
This is such a lovely smell, sweet scent and a little spray does really go a long way as after a couple of sprays it was still lingering after 6 hours. The bottle is really bold and you would definitely stop and take a look if you saw it in the shops.
by guest
Floral, classy, elegant and long lasting
A beautiful classy, elegant scent for the muture woman, quite empowering and feminine, I personally think it's a little old for me with the rose tones, however it is a beautiful scent and lasted well all day!
by guest
Absolutely beautiful
Simply put it is absolutely beautiful. I received a sample sized and it's probably the most beautiful perfume I've smelt, definitely reflects the high price. 5* for the scent, I can't afford however when I can one day this will be the first thing I will spend my money on. I only sprayed twice and the smell still lingers on my cardigan days later.
by guest
Sophisticated floral rose
This perfume has a really sophisticated old time rose scent. It reminds me of a Yardley scent my grandmother used to wear and she was a very elegant lady. I love that it isn't overly floral, synthetic or potent, the name sums it up very well it smells like being in an English rose garden at a stately home. A long lasting delicate scent.
by guest
Very nice smell
As a fan of rose scents I really enjoy this perfume. It has very nice and warm rose smell. In the same time it's not heavy or overwhelming. I think it is a perfect perfume for everyone who loves floral especially rose smell.
by guest
A modern take on rose
I usually avoid rose based fragrances but this perfume has modern twists to make a great floral scent. It's a soft fragrance but one that lasts the whole day, a great go to fragrance for every day use.
by guest
Elegant , fresh and whimsically wonderful
Penhaligon's - The Coveted Duchess Rose Eau de Parfum is a luxurious Parfum with a story to be told. From the packing to the writing , it's whimsical yet may be almost reminding me of a certain TV programme of a young lady coming of age and her handsome older Duke husband and you take a spray in the air step today's and let the scent fall down on to you. Taking in the notes of the Mandarin, rose, and vanilla, enveloped in the mid yet masterful musk hue to remind you that this a fresh and modern yet elegant scent but comes through with that of old fashion richness that will last you the day. Gentle changing from fruit to floral to jasmine tones. I can reccomend.
by guest
Penhaligon's the coveted duchess rose

by guest
Beautiful scent
First time using this perfume and it did not disappoint! A beautiful, light scent that lasted so well all day. Delicate and floral, you can really smell the rose and vanilla. On the pricey side so a real treat item.
by guest
Just beautiful

This is an absolutely lovely floral, feminine scent which to me suggests a fun and playful side. It’s such a quality fragrance because the scent lasts all day. I have had many compliments when wearing this perfume. I would definitely recommend this.
by guest
Elegant beautiful freshness
This perfume reminds me of elegance, that feeling when you walk through a really expensive boutique - the fragrance oozes luxury, I did not want the bottle to finish. I managed to get every last drip. I know what will be on my Christmas list!!
by guest

Classy!
Having been sent a sample of this I was very impressed with the packaging even before I opened it to try. I loved this perfume! Classy and classic, it elicited compliments whenever I wore it. On my Christmas wish list !

New Favourite Scent
I’ve never used anything from the Penhaligon’s brand before and was drawn to this scent by the word “rose” in the title. I’ve always been a fan of a floral perfume and especially one with a rose scent. My previous favourite rose scented perfume was discontinued so I was desperate to find something similar and this didn’t disappoint! This smells so similar, it really has that strong burst of rose and is very feminine. It’s not overpowering but is lovely and could easily be worn everyday and not just for a special occasion. This has easily become one of my new favourite perfumes.

Roses
At last I have found my perfect fragrance. I am blown away with this perfume. Stunning. I will never buy any other perfume. Only regret I never discovered it earlier. Maybe a little pricey but worth every penny .
by Denise Newcombe
Love Love Love
I absolutely love this perfume it smells so warm and comforting and l love wearing it. It just makes me feel so good and l will never tire of wearing it. My new signature perfume so glad l found it.
by Kathryn Wood
Long Lasting, Subtle, and Beautiful
I found this fragrance in a tester set that my roommates purchased, tried it on because I knew I liked the smell of roses, and was completely blown away by how delicate and beautiful of a scent it was. I am not partial to strong, overpowering perfumes or fragrances, and was pleasantly surprised by how subtle but potent it was. It blends my favorite things about floral scents, and rich warm amber scents into one amazing fragrance. I was also completely stunned by how long-lasting it is, two sprays of a tester bottle have lasted over 24 hours on my wrist, no exaggeration. Hope to own a full bottle someday!

Da Rosa
This perfume has an aroma of true happiness: intimate , calm, unobtrusive and very deep at the same time. It’s a true rose, the one and only smell that cannot be faked by artificial scents. There is no other as beautiful as this one.
by Nicole Scholar-Tasker
Classy, ethereal, innocent...
This beautiful rose fragrance is so pretty. Its classy and innocent, it's whimsical, innocent and tea-party ready. The rose is one of the most beautiful rose scents to me, not old and dusty but confident, self-assured and does not need to impress anybody else (that is how i feel when i wear it). The woodsy musky notes are there in the background giving a depth to this fragrance. On my skin however, the rose fades away within about 2 hrs, so I over-sprayed on my clothes lol..ever so often I get delicious whiffs of the rose... A beautiful fragrance..just wished the longevity was much better.

A burst of rose petals along with soft woods, makes this fragrance absolutely sensual and comforting. A truly elegant fragrance! Layers well with Elizabethan Rose or Empressa lotion.

Soothing yet delicate rosy scent. Love how it's so comforting and warm in comparison to other rosy scents which are always icy cold.

One of the portrait collection. The coveted Duchess Rose. Mandarin, Rose, Musky woods. I wear this because the fragrance lasts all day long.
by Cristy Ball
Penhaligon’s Fragrance Team member, HQ
Duchess Rose is a beautiful, warm fragrance that’s so softly elegant. With key ingredients of Mandarin, Centifolia Rose and Vanilla, it feels super classy and modern. Layers beautifully with Empressa body lotion and makes the scent last even longer through the day!
by Faisal -
Penhaligon’s Fragrance Team member, Glasgow
Duchess Rose is a shy whisper of a dewy green rose with subtle blush of turkish delight. It is a romantic and realistic interpretation of the English rose with lifted by a base of ambroxan and clean white musk. It layers well with Luna and the Favourite.

Beautiful fragrance
This is such an exquisite fragrance, I don’t usually choose an overly floral perfume but this one is so beautiful, and has gorgeous base notes of musk, the fragrance lasts a really long time too, it’s become a new favourite.
