White Rose by Floris £100.00
- Key notes:
- carnation
- orris (iris root)
- powdery notes
- rose
- white musk
- Aromagroups:
- floral
Originally created at the Jermyn Street shop by Mr John Floris in the early 1800s. Devoted wearers of the fragrance have included Florence Nightingale, and Lord Admiral Nelson is reported to have bought Floris White Rose for his mistress, Lady Hamilton.
White Rose is a classic take on a classic theme. This perfume is quite stately in its introvert elegance. Carnations meet a bouquet of other flowers and in the powdery mist of orris it's not quite possible to tell the fresh roses from spicy carnations.

The closer you get, the finer it feels. Orris and honeysuckle mingle in a powdery hush, beckoning the nose towards downy white musk and sandalwood. Vanilla and humid mangrove wood leave a lasting warmth. Projection stays soft, humming quietly — a fine-gauge knit that rests gently on skin. Cashmere is less a perfume than a feeling: a quiet murmur, a soft breath in the warm night.

Adone by Agatho £305.00
- Key notes:
- geranium
- grapefruit
- rose
- white musk
- Aromagroups:
- citrusy
- floral
- green
An essence whose floral and enveloping notes are rooted in myth, which plays with hypnotizing the senses like the young and beautiful Adonis against Aphrodite. Releasing the freshness of the flowers of wisteria, jasmine, geranium, damask rose, and white lily, this essence interprets and expresses the beautiful and damned Adonis, like a flower of short life that: “badly fixed to the ground and too fragile lightness owes its name to the wind and the wind just scatters its petals ”.
Darin's Musk by SweDoft £120.00
- Key notes:
- anise seeds
- rose
- white musk
- Aromagroups:
- transparent
- woody
The name of the perfume is a reference to the ancient port of Darin (located on the Tarout island/جزيرة تاروت in the modern day Saudi Arabia).This port was famous in the Middle ages as the musk exchange hub, where merchants from everywhere would come to buy deer musk.
Darin’s musk was legendary (top quality and genuine). Swedoft are treating us to that fabled musk aroma in a poetic modern perfume way. Darin’s Musk is a bright, voluminous fresh musk cloud. It’s not animalic. It’s white musk, clean and exquisite. It did however inherit the outstanding longevity and diffusiveness of the original deer musk traded centuries ago in the port of Darin.
