I have been hunting around for a year to replace my fav perfume of 30 years which has been changed and I can no longer wear. It was my signature Smell! So happy to have found a great and natural replacement. I find my spirits uplifted every time I wear it. Please don’t change it! Frankincense is lovely too.

Can not detect geranium at all. Smells like aftershave as it is so peppery... It is like eau de toilette as it so light and does not last. Very dissapointing...Response from NYR on 08.07.20 ' 'Thank you for your review and we are sorry to hear of your disappointment. We understand you have been in direct contact with our Customer Care team.'

I am a very disappointed customer. I love the perfume of roses and so expected the Pure Essence Eau de Parfum No. 2 Rose to be all it was written up to be, but not so. After just two hours of application the perfume has vanished, what a waste of money. Wont be buying again.

I would change nothing with this fab perfume. Love the scent. Love the bottle, I prefer a clear bottle to dark blue bottle for my perfume - I want to see the colour of the perfume and to see how low it's getting. I mostly keep perfume in its box anyway, as I have read in several places you are meant to do this to protect it from heat and light and this has worked well for me in the past. In a world where everything is always changing and where we usually want to see changes, I'm happy to hear myself saying: 'Nothing to change here please!'

Been wearing your Rose perfume for years, loved it, and how people commented on the smell of roses when I wore it, and then telling them it was actually my Neal's Yard perfume they could smell! It was out of stock for a while and now you've changed it and it smells awful, not of roses at all! I'm really disappointed. The price goes up and a cheaper blend of ingredients is used I imagine. I wonder do your testers maybe need to smell it after its packaged up and left for a while- have some of the ingredients infused too strongly over time? I shan't buy it again...Response from NYR on 20.09.18 'Thank you for your feedback and we're really sorry to hear of your disappointment with our rose perfume. Please do contact our Customer Care team at advice@nealsyardremedies.com who will be happy to discuss this with you and and help further.'

Intially smells sweet like Turkish delight. It mellows with time but it isn't the true rose fragrance I was expecting!...Response from NYR on 14.02.18 'Thank you for your feedback and we're really sorry to hear of your disappointment with our parfum. Please do contact our Customer Care team at advice@nealsyardremedies.com if you would like to discuss this further and so that they can arrange an alternative for you.'

I've reviewed this rose fragrance before but feel I must do so again, as I really love it. I am so sensitive to most fragrances, even those that claim to be 'almost' completely natural, and have found they invariably give me a headache or a rash, make me feel nauseas, or make me cough. NYR fragrances, which really are completely natural with no synthetics, are the only ones that I can enjoy wearing with real confidence and no ill-effects. This is a beautiful rose fragrance, perfect for day or night, and is fresh but with depth. I like the frankincense one too, but this is my favourite. Really hoping Neal's Yard will add to this collection with some more beautiful fragrances to give more choice.

Lovely but really needs new packaging. The glass needs to be dark to protect the perfume from light. Why not make the bottle dark blue like all other NYR products? No one wants to keep perfume in the box...Response from NYR ‘Thank you for your feedback, and we do offer the following advice for storage of our fragrances “Care: We recommend keeping your Pure Essence Eau de Parfum in its box, as perfume is a delicate beauty that can be affected by light and heat.” However we will pass your comments onto our packaging technologist regarding the potential use of blue bottles for the fragrances. Best wishes.’

I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend last year who always spritzed himself with it every time we would enter Neal's Yard. It has an uplifting, woodsy, romantic scent that lasts all day, sometimes we could even smell it the next day. Using only 2 spritz a day, this lasted us for almost a year. High quality, very calming, chemical free perfume that I will definitely be buying again soon for Christmas. If you're looking for a romantic winter perfume, then this is the one for you! X

Lovely non chemical perfume.
