Better than a Valentine’s Day bouquet: Steal her heart with these 13 rose perfumes

Why stop at only a few stalks of roses when you can give her an entire rose garden? Sort of.

Thinking of a Valentine’s Day gift for your loved one? Instead of sending her a bouquet of roses that will last maybe a week at most, why not gift her with something more personal and intimate? Something that smells amazing, looks great on her vanity counter and, more importantly, will last and last.

Here are 13 rose-scented perfumes that will instantaneously transport her to a rose garden at a whiff.

Terms like modern and light aren’t commonly associated with rose parfums but this one is exactly that, thanks to the addition of bright green botanical notes that help spice up the rose scent.

Let it be known that the scent is a tribute to compassion and selflessness – Rose Of No Man’s Land was a nickname given by soldiers to the nurses who saved thousands of lives during World War II. Designed as a unisex fragrance, the scent is soft with a palpable trail of rebellion that comes from blending fresh rose with saucy pepper and heady amber.

Don’t let its pretty pink packaging fool you into thinking this is a scent that blandly blends into its surroundings. Described as a warm and spicy floral scent, its concoction of punchy Sichuan pepper and aromatic turmeric adds a funky kick to its base rose notes. It dries down to a musky base with patchouli and Tonka bean giving an earthy, seductive bouquet that lingers for hours.
