Everybody’s buzzing about Bridgerton, and we can’t help but draw inspiration from it. From the costumes and makeup to even the music and landscape, every piece of the show seems to be so whimsical – and we wanna be part of it. Today, we’ve been inspired by the gardens that seem to be in every episode of all three (four, if you count Queen Charlotte) seasons, and we’re listing down the best rose perfumes in Malaysia that will make you smell like a rose garden in full bloom. Whether you’re a Penelope or a Queen Charlotte, we bet that they’d be envious of how good you smell!

We’re starting off this list of the best rose perfumes in Malaysia with a tried and true favourite – Full Rose Eau de Parfum by The Body Shop! This EDP is unisex, vegan, and cruelty-free, so you can go about your day feeling confident and worry-free. This scent features the rose absolute, which has been extracted from hand-picked rose flowers in Grasse, France, and represents the sweet-smelling petals, while geranium leaf embodies the luscious green leaves of the rose bush, and spicy, aromatic cardamom symbolises the spiky thorns. The scent will bloom further as you continue to wear it, and you’ll notice even more notes of this wonderful fragrance.

Why we love it:

  • Full-bodied
  • Vegan and cruelty-free
  • Unisex

Why we don’t love it:

  • Not too long-lasting

Price: RM269

2. OUAI Melrose Place Eau De Parfum

If you’re into the clean girl aesthetic, then you absolutely need the Melrose Place Eau De Parfum by OUAI to complete your vibes. This is truly one of the best rose perfumes, and it also has notes of bergamot, lychee, cedarwood, champagne, and white musk. Overall, it has a floral, clean, and fresh scent, which will completely turn heads and have people asking you for what fragrance you’re wearing. It’s seriously that good, and perfect for when you’re about on the town.

Why we love it:

  • Available as a perfume, body cream, body cleanser and scrub, and even dryer sheets
  • Has fresh and clean notes
  • Not too overpowering

Why we don’t love it:

3. Dior Rose Kabuki

Listen, we saw the price tag of this, too. RM700 for a 40ml bottle? Yikes. However, this seriously smells like a dream. If Venus herself came down to earth to King George, we’d imagine that she’d smell like this. The Rose Kabuki by Dior, albeit has a hefty price tag, is undoubtedly one of the best rose perfumes, period. Its creation is an homage to Kabuki, the traditional Japanese theater, and it shows in its notes of baby powder. The scent is delicate, sweet, and slightly musky, perfect for a girly girl.

Why we love this:

  • Has floral and powdery notes
  • Bottle can be engraved
  • Makes for the perfect gift

Why we don’t love it:

  • Extremely pricey

Price: RM700

Where to buy: Dior

Real review:

“So nice, inoffensive rose, with a bit of soft powder. I can totally imagine dew drops in this…Delicate and beautiful.”

Namu1, Fragrantica

4. Chanel Paris

If you’re still looking to splurge on a designer perfume without breaking the bank too much, then Paris by Chanel will be perfect for you. It’s very comparable to Dior’s Rose Kabuki, right down to the pink perfume in a clear glass bottle with a black cap, and it’s a tad bit less expensive. Paris is exactly what it sounds like – it smells like a romanticised version of the beautiful streets and architecture of Paris, minus the haughty people and strange accent. The scent itself is woody and floral, centering around the Damask rose and has notes of fresh lemon and mandarin, spicy notes of pink peppercorn, and a woody heart of patchouli.

Why we love it:

  • Long-lasting
  • Floral, woodsy, and slightly citrusy
  • Evokes memories of Paris

Why we don’t love it:

  • Can be underwhelming

Price: RM490

Where to buy: Chanel

Real review:

“I got acquainted with this perfume for the first time after revisiting Paris in the summer of 2022. It is such a beautiful scent, very feminine. It makes me relive the romance I felt in that city exploring alongside someone who calls that city their home.”

LVelkov, Fragrantica

5. L’Occitane Rose Eau De Toilette

We’re still not sure how to pronounce L’Occitane, but one thing is for sure: their Rose Eau De Toilette is one of the best rose perfumes in Malaysia, hands down. It’s long-lasting, very feminine, and doesn’t just straight up smell like you’ve poured a bucket of air sirap on yourself. This EDT is light and airy, and has sweet and fruity notes of lychee and raspberry, and Rosa Damascena as well as Rosa Centifolia floral water from Provence at its heart.

Why we love it:

  • Floral, airy, and light
  • Very feminine
  • Lingers

Why we don’t love it:

  • May be too sweet for some

Price: RM280

Where to buy: L’Occitane

Real review:

“An elegant edition to any fragrance collection. The bottle is decorative. It would suit those who lean towards more traditional feminine scents.”

6. Maison Margiela Replica On A Date Eau De Toilette

Of course, you can absolutely turn to Maison Margiela when you need a signature scent, and On A Date could be the perfect one for you. It’s everything you need in a scent; citrus and fruity, earthy and woody, floral, and warm and spicy, and somehow you can smell everything all at once without it being overpowering. Its top notes are of roses and grapes, with middle notes of bergamot and blackcurrant liquor. The creator of this scent, Carlos Benaïmwas, was inspired by his own childhood memories of Provence, and you’re sure to find yourself there when you get a whiff of this, even if you’ve never been.

Why we love it:

  • Very full-bodied
  • Unisex
  • Long-lasting

Why we don’t love it:

  • Some compare this scent to that of cleaning products

Price: RM355
