Floris London in White Rose

Is it a good idea to bring your beloved perfume when traveling? Some people believe that vacationing means letting go and not bothering with special makeup or dressing up. Why carry a glass bottle when you can dress comfortably and casually every day? This is a good question, and the answer lies in the invisible charm that becomes tangible through scent.

Picture this: a simple white shirt and jeans. A spritz of Princess Diana’s favorite perfume, and suddenly there’s a quiet air of nobility. In English, we ‘wear’ perfume—just like clothing, each scent has its own personality. Today, you and your fragrance move in harmony. In this piece, I’m sharing one that’s perfect for business trips and travel.

Perfumers have the noses of artists. In this creation, white rose hides gently among grass and leaves, releasing a crisp freshness in the heat of summer—like a walk through an airy forest. Yet, it can just as easily whisk you to a snowy winter’s day with its sharp, pristine edge. Floris London, a heritage house beloved by British socialites and royalty alike, captures this purity in its White Rose—an ivory-like elegance once cherished by Princess Diana herself.

As someone who has studied perfumes for many years, my obsession with scents led me to delve into the world of aromatherapy. The Floris White Rose fragrance features vanilla pods, carnations, and green leaves in its top notes. What makes it unique is that the rose is hidden in the middle notes, blended with iris, jasmine, and violet. The base notes harmoniously combine amber, musk, and floral scents.

The rose fragrance feels clean, serene, and tranquil. It’s like bathing in pure rose dew, capturing the essence of perfume for me.

I am very particular about perfumes. Besides the composition of the fragrance, I also consider the bottle design and the story behind it. Some people buy perfumes based on celebrity endorsements, but I’m the opposite—I prefer fragrances without a spokesperson. Princess Diana, with her unique and timeless elegance, is already convincing enough for me. While I don’t aspire to live her life, I appreciate her grace. What could be more classic than owning a perfume once used by Princess Diana?
