Everything’s coming up roses <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing more fresh, romantic, and feminine than a rose perfume. Rose scents are also said to be relaxing and restorative because, like lavender, they encourage us to take deep, slow, controlled breaths. The best rose-scented perfumes are transporting, but they\u2019re far from equal. In fact, while some varieties go heavy on the floral notes, others are balanced with fruity<\/a> accents or even spicy or musky undertones.<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s an entire garden of variability in perfumes that smell like roses. So if you\u2019re avoiding experimenting because you associate rose scents with potpourri or granny fragrances, you might want to reconsider.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another great feature of <\/span>rose perfumes<\/a><\/span> is their versatility. Even though they tend to be associated with light and airy, spring or summer feelings, they actually work wonderfully year-round. (Hello, Valentine\u2019s Day<\/a>!) With that in mind, we\u2019ve rounded up sophisticated, perfectly-balanced rose perfumes you\u2019ll love, no matter your personality or the occasion you\u2019re shopping for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a look at the 15 best rose fragrances for 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. <\/span>Valentino Rock’n Rose Perfume<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n

\"Rock'n<\/a><\/p>\n

Rock\u2019n Rose couldn\u2019t be a more fitting name for this warm rose and vanilla perfume<\/a>, or a more perfect reflection of the Valentino brand<\/a>. Most women closely associate Valentino with the color red and an overall romantic aesthetic. But the retailer is also known for studded shoes, bags, and other glam accessories. That rock-n-roll edge and feminine allure come together in this flirty selection. It\u2019s the perfect fit for any woman who relishes two opposing sides to her personality. In keeping with the outr\u00e9 style, notes include bergamot, blackcurrant, red rose, gardenia, vanilla, and sandalwood \u2014 a potpourri of harmoniously opposing chords.<\/span><\/p>\n
