White Rose & Lemon Leaves

White Rose & Lemon Leaves by Jo Loves is a crisp, airy, and refreshingly authentic white rose scent enhanced by bright lemon leaf notes. It captures the essence of a summer garden—clean, vibrant, and effortlessly modern—with a harmonious balance of rose and citrus greenery. The opening is sharp and lively, with lemon leaf contributing a bright, slightly astringent edge reminiscent of natural fresh-cut vegetation, though some find it akin to cleaning products or citronella. Over time, the rose emerges as a delicate yet clear floral heart, making it feel edible and truly pleasant rather than synthetic. It offers a modern interpretation of English garden rose, ideal for spring and summer, light enough for daytime use and unobtrusive in sillage. Performance is moderate with few reporting long wear, and it tends to fade well before the day is over. It is best experienced in warmer weather and suits those who prefer light, minimalist scents with a focus on freshness and harmony over projection or longevity. Few are disappointed with the scent itself, but the lack of staying power is frequently noted. It’s consistently praised for its realism and simplicity, particularly by those seeking a light, elegant rose not burdened by powder or cloying sweetness.
