It’s a gorgeous rose. Reminds me a bit of Yves Rocher Rose Ispahan but less vanillic/a bit greener and not *quite* as hyper-lovely.

As others have mentioned, this is not an overly-rosey scent. I get a fizzy/sugary top note mixed with a little flower spice (geranium?), followed by the twig-and-stem of a rose bush, not so much of the actual rose flower. I also detect a papery note, which gives this fragrance to me a dry and subdued feel, not at all like a dewy rose.
My nose finds some similarity with the top notes of Trussardi My Name. The sillage is low and the longevity poor unless you spray liberally and then repeat the spraying within 30 minutes. I initially tried this scent in Winter and got very poor wear out of it, I’m finding it works better in Summer, which sounds strange given the name.
I don’t really detect the vanilla, to me the base notes are more dry, sweet and delicate musk.
I like it but it has too many flaws for me to recommend it.

I also picked it up at TJ’s on discount and must admit that I was expecting much more of a rose scent. It is still very nice and soft though and not overpowering … I am going to look for something more rose-ish from their line next time.

The notes on this had me practically drooling….I love Green Roses like Tocadilly and am obsessed with Geranium and Rose Geranium. While Snow Rose EDT isn’t quite as green and geranium-spicy as I had hoped, it is still delightful.
The top opens with a burst of Aldehydes atop a Green Note (Violet Leaf is in there). The “icy” part of the Green top is, although not mentioned in the notes, most definitely a fresh garden Mint. The heart is not a rose per se, but more of a powdery melange of Rose and Jasmine in equal and complementary doses. The Green Mint persists, even as the Vanilla peeks out from behind the curtain, at which point this perfume has a decidedly gourmand feel. The heart dominates for more than a half hour, then leads into a base of round, delicious Vanilla with nuances of the floral heart and memories of Mint. The Sandal is very discreet and serves mainly as an anchor for other notes. I don’t detect the stated Musk, and I am very sensitive to this note. I do feel that there are a lot of synthetics going on here, although this does not adversely affect the fragrance.
Snow Rose has a classic and well done composition with nice transitions. The notes all flow beautifully, and each stage is distinct & lovely. The interplay of cool top notes and a warm base is tastefully orchestrated. Beautiful in any season, but I would favor it in the late spring of Tahoe, when we still have unwelcome snow even whilst the flowers are poking through the earth.
Compare to Lancetti Madame, another minty-rose composition, although Floris has a less candied feel.

I love rose scents (if they are well done) and this is a very pretty oriental rose. Very soft and pretty. Floris is a great line and worth checking out.

Floris SNOW ROSE is a limited edition perfume which I happened upon at TJMaxx for one of their ridiculously low prices, so I snapped it up, as I have been curious about the house of Floris for some time now, but have yet to make it to the samples in my queue. I am always interested in learning about perfume houses established before the French revolution, and Floris came into being in the year 1730!
Overall, SNOW ROSE is a very lightly oriental rose with a sweet vanilla note mingling with the rose in the long drydown. The opening has a fresh green aspect to it, but it is relatively short-lived and the vanilla begins to emerge nearly immediately. In some ways, the rose is beside the point, and I think that basically any generic “florality” could have been used to achieve the long vanilla floral drydown, which after awhile begins to remind me a bit of LADY PRIMROSE, although in the latter composition honey provides the sweetness.
I really like the opening and the mid-stages of SNOW ROSE, but I become a bit bored with the drydown after a while. Definitely wearable, but nothing that I’ll cry over once it’s gone.

I love this one; a soft, sweet, powdery and chillingly green rose. Way to go Floris!

First I thought this could be a rose scent I like. Then I sprayed it on my skin and it was a very subte fruit scent. It was only a mix of fruits, no rose at all anymore on my skin. Also it was not very long lasting.
