The House of Lubin is the oldest surviving Parisian fragrance house -- they once made perfume for Marie Antoinette. Now, their scents are available for the rest of us -- at exclusive boutiques, naturellement. With their latest perfume, Grisette, $160, they're celebrating many types of roses -- it's designed to smell like "an armful of freshly cut roses from Morocco and Bulgaria." And the effect is extremely unique with hints of iris and grapefruit to make it feel modern.
For moisturized, rose-scented skin from the neck down, try Ren Moroccan Rose Glow Perfect Dry Oil, $60. The rose scent is intense at first, but it won't clash with non-rose perfumes. And it while it lasts all day, it becomes lighter over time. The formula is also incredibly hydrating, but it won't transfer onto your clothes, and it gives skin a pretty sheen.
It takes 150 Damascena roses from Bulgaria to make the rose essential oil that's incorporated into Maison Francis Kurkdjian a la Rose Eau de Parfum, $245. It also has some orange, violet and magnolia blossom notes, and, at the base there's the sought-after May Rose. This scent is extremely sophisticated and complex -- chic and grownup without being stuffy.
The Stella McCartney fragrances have always been all about roses, and the newest version, Stella Eau de Toilette, $87, is no different. It is, however, a fresher take on the meaty Bulgarian rose scent. Balanced out with zesty mandarin and frozen lemon, with a touch of sexy amber underneath, it's a modern spin on femininity.
In Sunday Riley Flora Hydroactive Cellular Face Oil, $90, Russian, Bulgarian and Turkish rose extracts are used to even out discoloration and smooth skin's texture. You can barely feel this oil when you put it on -- it's that dry -- but it keeps skin looking fresh and hydrated all day.
