I was looking for a rose perfume and at first, I saw Jo Malone red roses cologne but I really did not like the smell of it. It was a bit fake rose kind of smell. Then I smelled Diptyque's Eau de Rose, which is exactly what I was looking for in a rose flower perfume. The scent's lifespan is average for eau de parfum (which is normal) and it is not too in your face, so you can wear it at work as well!
