It’s lovely. Just fresh, nice roses. I have easily triggered migraines and I have had troubles with rose scents through the years. I love roses, but rose fragrances can be so heavy and overwhelming. But not this one. Yardley´s English Rose is perfect for me. The scent is definitely more like new roses on a bush in a beautiful garden than dark, red hothouse roses in a crystal vase indoors, if you get my point. I like that, and I like the way it settles: musk and flowers nicely blended.

I find similarity between it and Hugo Boss The Scent For Her, in hot weather.

This is comparable to Roses de Chloe! It’s a lovely, fresh, simple rose scent with moderate sillage.

When I first smelt this as part of a sample pack, I disregarded it as a generic rose scent. I’d just started my perfume journey, hunting down that elusive rose that didn’t smell like pure powder and violets, but like the living roses from my childhood garden. I revisited this a year later and, wow, what a difference a year of olfactory refinement can do.
I could not stop smelling it. What went from boring rose water smell to my (underdeveloped) nose was now a lush, green, dewy rose with the suble traces of tea and a glass of lemonade. I can even imagine the little aphids hidden amoungst the petals and picture those big, bright blooms in a multitude of colours when I inhale it.
My only complaint is its longevity. I’d love for this to stay the whole day or even half of it, but for the price point and the joy of reapplying, it’s not a major discredit to it.

This scent is a lovely soft and fresh rose fragrance. Not overwhelming at all. Very nice. Rating 8/10.

I finally tracked this down and purchased a bottle as Yardley products seem to be out of favour in local shops and online (I live in Australia). That would be so sad, because some of us appreciate the Old World Charm of this company. I think it would be a mistake to assume that the new edition of English Rose is basic, one noted and old fashioned. The citrus and tea notes are quite pronounced, but enhance the rose and rose bud, rather than overwhelm it. This is just a delightful fragrance.

I tried this on my wrist the other day and can’t stop thinking of it. It’s not often a rose perfume actually smells like an actual rose, but this certainly does. I think the added tea note really gives this fragrance the true “tea rose” scent. I can’t wait to buy it now.
I forgot to mention that I think this reformulation is much better than the original. As it is so reasonably priced, I’ll buy a couple to tuck away in case the company re-reformulates and I don’t like the result. I’ve been reading other reviews of the Yardley reformulation of the April Violets which has left many disappointed. Luckily my pre-2015 older version is still pretty full.

My 7 year old son tonight started reading Fragrantica when I left my laptop open, he was really enjoying it and asked if he could write a review. I got a few of my perfumes out for hit to play with. Unable to choose which he wanted to write about, we did a little “smell test”. I sprayed 4 perfumes onto tissue (CK One shock, JPG Classique, Ghost Deep Night and Yardley English Rose) and he narrowed them down to his favourite out of those. So here is his little review….
“Lovely sweet scent, nice and rosy. Perfect amount of strength. Great to wear on a special occasions like birthdays. It reminds me of a flower garden. It also smells like rose cream sweets. I like the tall thin bottle with its patterned lid. Really great perfume! Love it!”

I like this parfume. It reminds me of a scent Cora Crawley from Downton Abbey would wear.
A lovely scent of an English rose garden, from the 1800-century. On me it has a fantastic strength, sillage & staying-power.
I like the vintage bottle, the sweet juice is in, and for 10 $, this is a keeper

Nice light scent. Rose is my favorite now!

This is a gentle fresh rose scent, like the rose note inside Bright Crystal. It opens with a sharp citronella like pink rose, its quiet greeny and airy because of the tea note (its definately supported with rose tree) and that holds the note patchouli which lie on the deep. The citruses are realy juicy and sweet it might be a grapefruit, mandarin combo. For the drydown it is still a rose but more rounded with the musk and colored with manoglia and violet. Patchouli is a note that cover rosy fragrance from top to bottom so i can say it is there but not so clear compared to rose ofcourse.

The classic version is very oriental and heavy. I think it’s unsufferable and this one is a bit better. It looks like yves rocher peony’s dupe.
