A true fresh bouquet in bottle form, Red Roses feels like pressing your nose into a florist’s bucket of dew bright stems. Zesty lemon sparks the opening, then a velvety rose accord draws on seven beautifully chosen varieties for a petal rich heart that smells clean, airy, and romantic rather than powdery. A soft honeyed trail warms on skin, keeping the experience luminous and tender for everyday elegance, bridal moments, and gifting alike.
Launch and Perfumer
Originally launched in 2001, created by Lucien Piquet and Patricia Bilodeau. The house reintroduced Red Roses in the modern Roses collection with a streamlined Cologne profile in 2023.
Olfactory Notes
Top: Lemon
Heart: Red Roses accord, crushed violet leaves
Base: Honeycomb
Story and Positioning
Red Roses was conceived to bottle modern romance in Jo Malone London’s signature transparent style, celebrating the beauty of freshly cut roses with a bright citrus twist and a clean, uncluttered finish. It sits within the brand’s Roses universe alongside Velvet Rose and Oud and Rose Blush, inviting playful layering and scent pairing across the collection. If you love realistic rose with a contemporary sheen, it occupies the same elegant space as other modern rose favorites like Byredo Rose of No Man’s Land and Miss Dior Rose N’Roses, while longtime rose fans often mention kinship with Stella by Stella McCartney for that photoreal rose glow.
Bottle and Design
The presentation follows the house’s chic minimalism. Clear rectangular glass lets the soft blush juice show through, fronted by a cream label with a fine black keyline, and topped with a polished rounded silver cap that feels satisfyingly weighty in hand. The bottle nestles in the brand’s cream box tied with black ribbon, and can be personalised with engraving or colored caps for keepsake gifting.
