Jo Malone Red Roses Cologne - Reviews | MakeupAlley (2024)

On me it smells straight up like rosewater and quite herbally, not sweet, not powdery, not intense or long lasting at all. I am a huge rose scent fan and to me this frangrance does not worth the...

I was gifted this fragrance for Christmas and I love it!! It's technically a cologne but lasts forever plus has the kind of sillage that requires a light touch when applying. I've been playing with...

I’ve always loved roses. I’ve owned Une Rose and Lipstick Rose from Frederick Malle, YSL Paris and Parisienne, Guerlain’s Aqua Allegoria Rose, L’occitane’s Roses et Reines, and even Crabtree and...

When i first tried this it was while i was at Neiman Marcus. I remember being stunned. Transfixed at the beauty of what i was smelling. It was like i was floating in a vortex of liquid mercury and...

My first Jo Malone fragrance and still my favourite to this day! I love how simplistic but sophisticated Jo Malone scents are - on me, this smells like fresh red roses with a burst of sweet lychee....

Just a super classic scent of roses that is super light and airy. Never overpowering.

I wore this New Year's Eve. It's such a sophisticated scent that lingers in the background and is not overpowering whatsoever. I am loving how back to basics jo Malone scents are. Would recommend

This is a nice, simple rose fragrance. It's lasts a long time and has good sillage. However on me, it is so similar to Perfumers Workshop Tea Rose that I can't see spending the money on this one. ...

This perfume smells exactly like cold fresh roses just taken out of a florist's cooler. It's fresh, feminine and a very realistic red rose fragrance without that sour tone some rose scents can...

So far, this is the best pure rose fragrance I have found. I love that it is light but I hate that I can't smell it after a short amount of time. I am extremely picky about fragrance and this is...

For a very rare occasion I do not like a rose fragrance. And even more painfully, I do not like a Jo Malone rose fragrance. I am quite in love with the limited edition Tudor Rose and Amber and...

I only have the sample size of this but as soon as I have a justifiable excuse to spend $120 for perfume, I'm buying it! A lot of reviewers say this smells like a "grandma rose scent" but I believe...

I really liked the smell of the Red Roses scent when I first sniffed in the shop - it was sweet and rosy; very much like 100% pure rose essential oil. However, after wearing the cologne for a few...

The drydown of this is barnyard/urine. No- it's not chemistry. On paper, fabric, skin- in an hour it reeks. It's filthy in a bad way. If you stand near someone with a excellent sense of smell...

My second Jo Malone fragrance purchase. I actually purchased the red roses bath oil first...which I adore. Then I purchased the fragrance and in my opinion the two smell nothing like each other. I...

Pretty, but very potpourri-ish. Red Roses is very literally, perhaps too literally, a bouquet of roses with a spritz of citrus. Although I love this as a room scent, it's not something I would like...
