It was time for another Top 10 on the latest episode of Love At First Scent. And on this occasion I decided to bite the bullet – or do I mean the crimson petal? – and go for one of perfumery’s most beloved materials. The ever-inspiring rose. So here it is: my list of the best rose perfumes. You can watch it above, or by clicking on this link: best rose perfumes 2020. As always, I recommend clicking on the link and watching the video on YouTube, so you can follow the live chat, which was particularly animated in this instalment.
Here’s the complete list of scents covered in the broadcast:
Frederic Malle Une Rose (at the start of the video)
Guerlain Nahema (at the 15:45 minute mark)
Tauer Une Rose Vermeille (at the 17:00 minute mark)
Hermes Rose Ikebana (at the 24:00 minute mark)
Amouage Lyric Man (at the 32:30 minute mark)

Excellent! Thanks for writing.
Ah, lovely, I’m inspired to go put them all on. At once! But where is Amouage Homage? That is my rose Everest, Chomolungma, Mariana Trench, or whatever cannot be surpassed.
Thanks very much for writing. It is superb… but it didn’t make my list, I’m afraid.
