The Coveted Duchess Rose
£215
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?

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!
