The preference for rose scents is very individual, but what we call the 'Old Rose' scent, is perhaps
one of the most beautiful, and I am told, this is the basis of most rose perfumes.
The best time to enjoy the scent of a rose is mid-morning when the sun is up. The scent is the strongest
when the rose flower is about half open.
If you love the fragrance of roses as much as I do, you would love my favorite Rose Perfumes.
I usually give one of these rose perfumes for a bridal gift, as rose fragrances are so feminine and romantic; and men love these scents on women.
