Paul Smith has introduced a new fragrance for women, Paul Smith Rose. The scent is based on the odor of the Sir Paul Smith rose as captured by ScentTrek, a variation on headspace technology:
The rose at the heart of this fragrance is one that bears his name. “My wife, Pauline, created a wonderful birthday gift – a rose cultivated specially for me. This proved to be an inspiration for the fragrance,” says Paul.
[...] Antoine Maisondieu, the perfumer who worked with Paul on its creation explains: “I wanted to combine an airy quality with a soft, velvety feeling on the skin. I blended Paul Smith ScentTrek with Turkish rose oil and green tea, adding a sparking halo of violet and magnolia flowers. A woody accord, with touches of clear cedar, provides depth and structure, which along with soft musks, give it an addictive quality.”
Paul Smith Rose is available in 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum and in matching body products. (via paulsmith.co.uk, found via selfridges) According to thelondonpaper, it smells “fresh, light and fruitily rosy”.
Lollia has launched Always, a new fragrance for women:
Grapefruit freshness and Mandarin bliss. An iconic Rose Bud blooms, with a backdrop of White Woods, a touch of golden honey, and sheer musk.
Lollia Always is $40 for 60 ml Eau de Parfum, and is available now at beautyhabit.

I'm assuming the Paul Smith Rose is for men isnt it? It sounds very nice and cant wait to try it.
It is for women, and just added that to the article — I forget that Paul Smith is known primarily for menswear. Sorry about that!
I quite like this one as i am a fan of rose scents…. but i find the bottle a bit bland and masculine… wish the bottle was as pretty as the box. If they brought out a limited edition with the rose painted on the bottle i would probably buy it.
Have not smelled it yet…not sure this one is coming to the US (?)
I've absolutely fallen in love with Paul Smith Rose, it's a perfect fresh dewy rose on a soft musk base. The kind of rose I've been looking for. And surprisingly long-lasting.
Sounds lovely! Hope it will get to Neiman Marcus soon.
