3 Rose Perfumes for Mother’s Day 2025+ Queen of Flowers Giveaway

Best Rose Perfumes for Mother's Day 2025

 3 Rose Perfumes for Mother’s Day 2025 image by Steven 

Rose is often referred to as the Queen of Flowers. Fragrance is liquid memories, so make Mother’s Day 2025 (Sunday May 11 in the USA) special with a perfume that makes her feel like a queen. Each of the three rose perfumes have their own personality (which is why we match a rose perfume with a “style”).  As in past years this post is dedicated to all mothers and the maternal women who shaped our lives, (which might be you), your wife, your sister, your own mom…  and those who live on in our memories. -Michelyn Camen, Editor-in-Chief

The Elegant Mom for Mother’s Day 2025: Dom Rosa by Liquides Imaginaires (Sonia Constant) is a toast to life and love. A champagne accord opens this blend before a Damask rose ingredient overtakes the composition with its sophisticated charm. Base notes of cedar and guaiac wood create harmony and duality while also contributing to the longevity of this perfume.  Notes: Champagne accord, grapefruit, pear, damask rose, clove, incense, woody accord, cedar, vetiver, gaiac

Available at Luckyscent and other fine stockists

The Romantic Mom for Mother’s Day 2025: Villa Primerose by Atelier des Ors (Marie Salamagne) is a heavenly blend of rose and iris on a bed of musk and amberwood. The rose is sensual without being provocative. The iris is made more fresh through the use of pear. The sparkling opening of this perfume is inviting. Notes: Cardamom, Pear, Pink Pepper, Rose Centifolia (infusion pays), Ambrette, Iris, Leather, Amber, Woods, Musk

For The Confident Mom: BDK Parfums Impadia (Jordi Fernadez) is new for 2025.  Impadia is an arresting blend of Bulgarian rose and Turkish rose. The photorealism of these ingredients are brought out through the orange blossom that creates freshness and floral beauty. Akigalawood and vanilla anchor the base for a long-lasting experience that is intimate, sensual, and confident. –Steven Gavrielatos, Video Contributor Notes: Bergamot, mandarin, pear, Bulgarian rose, Turkish rose, African orange flower, Akigalawood, vanilla absolute, and sandalwood

Available at Perfumology and other fine stockists

Insights from the BDK Parfums brand on Impadia: “The rose has always been a key ingredient at BDK Parfums, and in perfumery in general. It’s a flower that fascinates me through its varieties, its colours, its shapes, from the fleshiest to the finest, and of course its olfactory nuances. Each of our creations highlights a different facet of the rose. -David Benedek, Founder of BDK Parfums (via press release).

“Turkish and Bulgarian roses belong to the same species, the damascena rose, each with very distinct olfactory specificities due to the diffe­rent extraction methods used. Bulgarian rose essence Orpur™1 has fresh, metallic, and green notes, with a hint of spiciness that conveys the vibrant side of the flower. Turkish rose absolute Orpur™1 reveals a warmer profile, characterized by rich honey notes and subtle co­coa nuances. When blended, this creates a harmonious balance that highlights the unique qualities of each rose.” –Jordi Fernandez of Givaudan.

    I absolutely loved how Steven described the duality in Impadia-how the Bulgarian and Turkish roses contrast yet complement each other. That blend of florals and creamy sandalwood sounds like something my mom would wear daily and Michelyn’s words really touched me, what a lovely tribute to mothers in all forms.
    I am in IL, USA

  • Citrus Paradise says:

    Steven has such a nice way of reviewing fragrances! I found his explanation of the Akigalawood and rose interplay in Impadia really helpful. I also appreciateMichelyn’s gentle reminder that Mother’s Day is also for those who’ve shaped us emotionally, not just biologically.

Hope to meet you one day!!! xxx Gayle Kendall, NYC

  • BloomyWinter says:

    Steven’s review was detailed without being overwhelming. I liked the distinction between the fresh Bulgarian and the warm Turkish rose which was something new I learnt today. It really does feel like a confident mom’s signature scent. And I must say, Michelyn’s prose always hits home <3 <3 US

  • LATONYA GIPSON-BOWMAN says:

    After watching Steven’s review and reading Michelyn article, I realized I am the confident Mother and would love to win Impadia. She is on my Wishlist and the notes are Amazing. I would love to add this to my collection and it would be a great Mother’s Day gift.

  • Shibu says:

    Impadia sounds like such a wearable yet luxurious take on rose. Steven really brought it to life with how he broke down the balance of floral and woody notes in it. It’s also great to see Dom Rosa and Villa Primerose featured too, amazing trio for moms of all kinds!

  • obsidian says:

    I live in the USA and I must say Steven’s breakdown of Impadia was so vivid, it was like I could smell each layer unfolding. The vanilla and sandalwood notes had me completely intrigued. I also appreciate the writeup as it reminds us why perfume is so deeply personal. Thankyou steven, michelyn and wonderful folks at Kintessence for making this happen. Cheers from NY.

  • Scent bear says:

    Steven’s reviews was amazing as always. The way he explained how the roses in Impadia are treated differently really helped me understand why this scent feels layered and so much more nuanced. Definitely on my wishlist now. LA (USA)

  • Aaronmy says:

    The imagery of a “toast to life” in Dom Rosa was beautifully matched by Steven’s warm tone when discussing Impadia. I love how each perfume was chosen for a different kind of mom and it is exactly this level of thoughtfulness I love about the reviews. USA based and definitely intrigued by this new BDK!

  • shining stones says:

    Steven’s video always has such good vibes as he clearly loves what he is reviewing. Got to learn about Bulgarian and Turkish roses in Impadia. It sounds like a rose lover’s dream for sure and I am really looking forward to trying this.
    US

  • Ramses Perez says:

    Three beautiful rose fragrances and Impadia seems to be the talk of the town. Villa Primerose looks like an uplifting rose fragrances that’s a mood enhancer. Dom Rossa has a bit more heft to it but still with rose and sparkling accents around a it. Then there’s Impadia which seems to be on everyone’s mouths lately because of its potential to be a big hit. A great thanks to Kintessence for the giveaway and happy Mother’s Day in advance! I’m located in the USA.

  • Reeta Ramasamy says:

    Steven does an excellent job in describing the perfumes and more importantly there is a strong sense decency and kindness behind his thoughtful and articulate presentation of the perfumes. They all sound wonderful and yet are distinct enough to represent particular facets of the wearer’s personality or what they wish to convey at that particular moment. I am impressed even with the way that they are ranked because while they all sound like beautiful creations, the perfume at the number one spot, based on Steve’s descrtiptim, is the one I would choose for the mother goddess in my life. Good job all around. Keep it up. Thank you .

  • Velencia Talley Lowery says:

    Domrosa is one of my favorite rose scents! It’s fresh, feminine and beautiful! I have Pink Me Upon my list! All very beautiful!

  • Roberta Cruz says:

    I have learned so much from watching Steven. I enjoy the reviews and agree with his observations of the fragrances I have in my limited collection. I am very interested in the items he chose in this video, Impadia sounds so enticing. I love roses and have many in my garden. Happy Mother’s Day.

  • Brandy mink says:

    Steve always does an amazing job on his description of the perfumes! I feel all of these are stunning choices! I do live in the US and am thankful for the opportunity ❤️

  • Steph W says:

    Although I am new to Steven’s videos I can see that he offers great insight into fragrances. Rose is my favorite note and I love how Steven describes each of the three Mother’s Day scents to us. I love the idea of highlighting the different facets of rose that Mr. Benedek speaks about.

    Oregon, USA

  • scenternet says:

    Steven’s thoughtful breakdown of each fragrance really helped bring their personalities to life—especially the balance of romantic nuance and photorealism in BDK Impadia’s rose composition. I love how each perfume is paired with a style of motherhood, reminding us that scent can reflect identity just as powerfully as fashion or music. I live in the USA and would be thrilled to experience Impadia’s confident, sensual rose for myself. It sounds like a beautiful tribute to love in all its forms.

  • amna268 says:

    I really appreciated how Steven highlighted the emotional range rose can express—from the fizzy celebration of Dom Rosa to the elegant softness of Villa Primerose and the bold confidence of Impadia. His passion for fragrance is contagious, and it’s fascinating to learn how Turkish and Bulgarian roses can contrast and complement one another. I live in the Delaware, US, and I’d love the chance to wear Impadia—it sounds like a powerful, radiant take on rose that would feel empowering every time I reach for it.

  • Nara Hodgson says:

    Imperial sounds amazing! Although I am a rose lover so all sound great. Steven always describes perfumes in a way that makes them relatable!

  • Katie Lee says:

    I do live in the USA, southern AZ actually altho I’m from CT originally.
    I always like Steven’s videos. There’s nothing to not like. But his descriptions are usually spot on and he’s fun to watch.

  • Maria Beristain says:

    I love Steven’s reviews cause I think he is sincere and has an excellent taste in perfumes, I love perfume and I am a mother myself that would be a nice gift to have and thank you for this giveaway and if I win I will be super happy! Iam but happier, blessings

  • Sylvia Jackson says:

    I love rose notes in perfume it reminds me of a beautiful Rose Garden so peaceful.

  • Giuliana says:

    For years I’d been averse to rose because everyone liked it. But secretly I didn’t hate it. No matter how much I tried to convince myself it was “old lady” and awful I now recognize I was just trying to be contrary in an effort to be different. As an adult, I realized it was okay to have my own opinions even if they were popular!
    So, these days I freely enjoy my popular rose fragrances like Delina and Very Good Girl to the lesser known Habibi NY Rose Amor. I’ve actually had Dom Rosa and Impadia on my wishlist at Steven’s previous (to this video’s) recommendation. But now I’ve added Villa Primerose! Note to self: tell my daughter I’ve updated my wishlist. Lol.
    I look forward to getting my nose on all 3!

  • Andrea says:

    Oh my gosh all of them sound amazing! How can you choose? I have heard of the first brand Liquides Imaginaires through their well known bottle called Blanche Bete which is a wondrous crafted and sounding Latonic perfume I can only imagine what this one smells like. The other 2 are 2 new brands for me and I can’t wait to try them out.

  • Barbara Bright says:

    Love how Steven succinctly yet descriptively reviews fragrances! Very interested in Impadia! USA-based.

  • Crystal Walker says:

    I absolutely love Rose as a note and love watching Steven describe the beautiful fragrances. I am a mom and would absolutely love any of these fragrances! This would make my Mother’s Day to add a beautiful rose perfume

  • Lisa Zambrano says:

    Steven always has such beautiful words to describe fragrances with such pure emotion. I love how each perfume was similar yet completely different. Sounds like something I would definitely enjoy.

  • Jenna Park says:

    Steven really gives very thoughtful descriptive reviews. He not only tells the listener about the notes he also goes into the little nuances of each fragrance and who he thinks it will work for. I love rose and how it makes me feel. I feel feminine and beautiful when I wear a rose fragrance. BDK is an exceptional brand. I have no doubt Impadia is a stunning scent with the best of rose blended beautifully. This would be a special mother’s day gift. I have two beautiful children and remember my husband coming in with roses after both were born. To me roses say “I love you”. I am from Pennsylvania in the US

  • FreshyForever says:

    Steven’s appreciation of Impadia was sincere and a joy to experience — and it inspired me to learn more. After a look at the notes, I see how they are reflected in the bottle design itself. The accords of rose and citrus seem joined by the African Orange flower — as suggested by the color gradient on the bottle. Such a gorgeous presentation and I hope to experience Impadia one day.
    I reside in the US.

  • ymcqueen says:

    One sure thing is that scent selection and suitability are personal and individual. I appreciate Steven’s attention to the way in which our personalities influence our scent choices (bold, shy, elegant, romantic, confident). The descriptions of the rose varieties and the supporting notes, and the way their fragrances align with the categories are so helpful. I was happy to see Steven highlighting modern florals. I feel that rose (and other floral) notes are often neglected in favor of gourmand scents. Rose fragrances are so beautiful and classic (like our moms), and I love to see them get some shine!

  • Mchiles30 says:

    This insightful article beautifully reinforces why rose remains such an enduringly popular and cherished note in perfumery, especially when it comes to expressing heartfelt appreciation and love. The specific perfumes reviewed here sound particularly intriguing, each clearly offering a distinct olfactory narrative and experience, rather than being simple soliflores. Thank you for the thoughtful, well-researched suggestions and the fantastic chance from US

  • Celala says:

    Your perfume reviews consistently strike me as both poetic and remarkably informative – a rare and valuable combination! These three rose perfumes sound absolutely captivating, each promising a unique experience. It’s incredibly helpful to see different facets and interpretations of the rose note explored thoughtfully, especially when considering a gift. Thank you, CaFleureBon team, for the excellent guidance and the very generous Queen of Flowers giveaway!

    (US)

  • Sherry K says:

    Rose has always been a classic in perfumery, but these three niche brands—Liquides Imaginaires, Atelier Des Ors, and BDK Parfums—show how different and modern it can be. Their perfumes—Dom Rosa, Villa Primerose, and Impadia—each take rose in a totally different direction. One feels airy and mysterious, another is elegant and soft, and the third is bright and playful.

    Impadia stands out as the most fun and modern. It starts off with a fresh, juicy mix—think pear and pink berries—then settles into a lively rose note that feels young and full of energy. As it dries down, there’s a creamy, comforting base, maybe vanilla or something musky, that softens everything without becoming too sweet.

    I’ve been trying to find the rose perfume that feels just right, but honestly, I’m still torn. Each of these brings out a different side of rose, and I’m not sure which one really fits me best.

  • Gladys Rivera says:

    The Impadia bouquet is interestingly surrounded by a complex pentagram of notes that have my olfactory imagination dancing from one beautiful possibility to another, even more precious and intriguing.

  • Catherine says:

    Steven has done it again and this time with my favorite note of rose. I’m a working mom of two boys and as he stated it, when I want to be elegant and classy, it’s always Dom Rosa. I haven’t tried Villa Primerose yet but Steven made it very interesting about wearing the scent on active days. Finally, my most loved Impadìa is my number one signature scent ❤️
    I’m in California, USA and regards to Michelyn and team for doing such a good job.

  • Tina Pomfrey says:

    I love a rose fragrance; it has become my signature scent. I have been wearing the very affordable Philosophy Ballet Rose for the last three years. Although I prefer single note scents, all three of the fragrances sound exquisite.

  • andreagonz says:

    Steven is one of my favorite perfume reviewers. His description of Impadia as a warm, spicy, Bulgarian and Turkish rose, with pear being a confident rose, boss mode. Doesn’t sound overly sweet or soft, but a rich rose floral with the right amount of citrus. Sounds like a beautiful, bold, rose perfume.

  • Sadaf Siddiqui says:

    Steven’s reviews are accurate and I find his taste very similar to mine.

  • Sarah Frazier says:

    I am new to collecting fragrances. One of my favorite scent profiles is rose. I have been watching many rose perfume tutorials to see which ones to get. I love watching Steven give his explanations on scents. He is very thorough and detailed. These 3 perfumes sound heavenly! The BDK Parfums Impadia was added to my wishlist last week. Just learning about Don Rosa, I think I will add that to my wishlist as well.

  • Barbara Daley says:

    I live in NY and always enjoy Steven’s reviews. His demeanor is both enthusiastic and calming and it’s clear that he’s well versed in the components of fragrances. I have a decant of Dom Rosa and agree with his assessment! And I’m very excited about trying Impadia.

  • DBar106 says:

    I live here in New Hampshire, USA and I LOVE Steven’s reviews! He does a wonderful job describing the fragrances he discusses and I have been eyeing BDK Impadia. I have been looking at a few rose scents but haven’t found one I love just yet. That being said, I really enjoy sandalwood and mandarin. He’s definitely selling me on it. It would be my first BDK perfume actually!

  • CL says:

    I loved how Steven made each rose perfume feel like it had its own vibe from the mature celebrator to the fresh and vibrant, to the powerful boss rose scent of Impadia. His breakdown of the different rose combinations (champagne, pear etc) used in each formulation was very interesting, and you can tell he really loves what he’s talking about. Made me want to smell them all! CL-Texas

    From USA and I found Steven’s review of Impadia fascinating. He made it clear how the freshness and warmth were intentionally crafted. It jsut sound elegant and classy. I really cant wait to get my nose on this fragrance.

  • scentense95 says:

    That part where Steven mentioned the photo realism of the roses in Impadia really interested me. It made me think of how perfume can transport us to real places and memories. Impadia since its realease has been on the top of my wishlist and I would really like to win it. USA

  • fenoburris says:

    Steven’s review style feels so natural bcz he doesn’t just list notes, he tells a whole story around that fragrance. The contrast between the orange blossom brightness and woody base in Impadia really makes me curious. Also, I love how this article reminds us that fragrance is more than just scent, rather its a memory.

  • sav17 says:

    A beautiful rose fragrance is the perfect gift for my mom for Mother’s Day. I love Michelyn’s picks for rose perfumes. Dom Rosa is the perfect elegant rose to celebrate. Steven mentions that the rose smells natural, and I agree. Villa Primerose sounds like a beautiful choice for a romantic. The combination of rose and iris is always stunning. I really enjoy Pink Me Up, but I’m glad Steven chose Villa Primerose to mix it up. I haven’t tried Impadia yet, but it must be a great pick for the confident mom. Steven’s comments about it being spicy and “boss level” are right up my alley. I have enjoyed every fragrance I’ve tried from BDK Parfums, so I appreciate that David Benedek highlights a different facet of rose in each fragrance.

    Thank you, Steven, for the great reviews. Thank you to Kintessence for the generous giveaway. I am located in the USA.

  • ljar says:

    I live in Texas. Steven’s video presented each perfume beautifully! I’m craving a rose perfume now! I’m huge fan of BDK Parfums. Their DNA and my skin are in love. The description of the roses, vanilla and sandalwood sounds completely intoxicating!

  • mdellaroc says:

    I would love this BDK PERFUME because the dry down has a warm, creamy base of sandalwood and amber, which Steven finds smooth and luxurious. He mentions that Impadia has strong sillage and lasts over 8 hours on his skin! Which for me is a big deal. In maryland

  • balu says:

    What a lovely mix of fragrances for different personalities. I am in the US and found Steven’s explanation of Impadia really informative. The way he described how the Akigalawood adds structure without overpowering the rose was a nice touch.

  • LavenderJuliette says:

    Steven’s comment about Impadia feeling intimate and sensual yet empowering really made me curious about the scent. Sometimes rose perfumes can feel predictable, but this one seems very unique. Also, big props to Michelyn for for the amazing writeup.

  • Madden Sinead says:

    I loved how Steven emphasized that the Turkish and Bulgarian roses are not just similar but they even differ in their texture and kind of mood they evoke.That shows a real craftsmanship. Impadia now feels like a scent I would want to share with my mom and wear myself! Thanks for the opportunity. I am in the US.

  • Odor Aeternitatis says:

    I follow Steven’s reviews regularly, I really enjoyed how he framed Impadia as more than just a rose perfume. It is so sensual and radient based on how the review portrays it. Loved the introduction as well. Definitely interested and I am in the US.

  • fragrant_attention says:

    The trio selection here is genius as each perfume feels personal and distinct. I was especially drawn to Steven’s passion when he spoke about how Impadia captures both strength and grace. That’s exactly how I would want my mom to feel wearing a fragrance. NYC/US

  • Zerana says:

    I thought Steven’s mention of the vanilla absolute in the dry down of Impadia was a great point bcz its essential to balance the florals with the softness. USA here!

  • MatchaCat says:

    Steven’s love for BDK Impadia really came through and I agree with Michelyn, rose really is the queen of flowers, and it’s so appropriate for Mother’s Day. A thoughtful and elegant tribute indeed. I do live in the US and I am really thankful for the opportunity.

  • Amanda Turner says:

    I adore how Steven breaks down wash fragrance and why he loves these particular rose perfumes. I also really admire how he did the introduction. Mother’s Day isn’t able to be celebrated b everyone and he acknowledges that. Thank you for the opportunity. I am located in Florida, USA.

  • opalbear says:

    Ooh I love a great rose fragrance. There is nothing like it. Rose is a universal flower, we are genetically hardwired to recognize it and be intrigued at a minimum and most likely enthralled and soothed!! Some of my favorites are The Mother of All Roses by House of Matriarch, Tea Rose Mimosa LE, Rosa LE, Raven and Rose Embers by TRNP, and most recently Aphorismes A Rose is a Rose. What a generous giveaway and I can’t wait to try BDK Impadia. I am located in the USA.

  • Kim louthan says:

    Steven’s reviews are always so well-articulated and honest—I really appreciate how he breaks down each note and explain the vibe it creates. He has helped me discover scents I wouldn’t have tried otherwise!

    Im from Florida and would like to be entered for the giveaway.

  • Cynthia says:

    I get a good feeling about BDK Impadia just by looking at the colorful bottle. The colors tell me what to expect inside. Pink roses and soft sweet orange blossom, with creamy vanilla and woods. It sounds so bubbly and happy! All three of these rose perfumes sound great, but I would love to win Impadia. Thank you for the Review. I’m in USA>

  • lemoncake says:

    Rose is my favorite note in a perfume. Thank you Steven for introducing 3 new to me perfumes with rose notes. I think each of these sounds beautiful although Impadia sounds like it would be a favorite with the combination of Turkish and Bulgarian rose, orange blossum and sandalwood….such a great scent for mothers and all women that nurture and support others. Thank you!….I’m in the USA

  • DAISY PEREZ says:

    I’ve been eyeing this one since its release—definitely a wishlist staple for me! The way BDK dives deep into the many facets of the rose is just beautiful. Jordi Fernandez’s work with Givaudan is always next-level, and this blend of Bulgarian and Turkish roses sounds like a masterclass in balance and nuance. I really appreciate the detail in how each rose is expressed here. Also, shoutout to Steve his YouTube channel has been such a great resource and inspiration for discovering gems like this!

  • SeaElle says:

    I appreciate how Steven took time to explain how Turkish and Bulgarian roses each bring something special to the table in Impadia. I would have never thought about how extraction methods could shape the scent so distinctly. Also love the idea that scent can connect us to moms we miss. US

  • Featherblossom says:

    Impadia sounds like such a well structured perfume which seems warm without being heavy. Steven’s clear breakdown helped me imagine exactly how it would smell. Thanks for giving the opportunity. I’m located in the USA.

  • sourbergamot says:

    The list of 3 perfumes is so well curated and it really celebrates the diversity of motherhood. Steven’s breakdown of Impadia made it sound like a modern take on classic rose. The orange flower and pear touch made me instantly like it. Definitely USA based and loving this post.

  • Fragrance collector says:

    Loved Steven’s passionate review of Impadia. His focus on the creamy sandalwood finish really sold it for as in my opinion it makes it more polished. Thanks to Kintessence for the giveaway and Happy Mother’s Day in advance to all the mothers out there! US

    Steven made such a good point about the confidence that Impadia evokes, so true that it’s not just about smelling good, but about feeling grounded. That really stuck with me. I am very interested in all the scents he listed in this video, Impadia sounds so lovely. I love roses so its obvious I am going to love this perfume as well. USA

  • Zestybloom says:

    I loved how Steven didn’t just spotlight Impadia but gave it context among other elegant rose scents. Dom Rosa’s champagne opening sounds effervescent and perfect for a graceful mom who enjoys celebrating life. The contrast between its woody drydown and Impadia’s creamy base makes both seem like perfect but distinct choices.

  • Jaga says:

    From USA: I enjoy Steven’s perfume videos and insights from brands like BDK Parfums. BDK has become such a great addition to my growing collection, like Gris Charnel and Rouge Smoking. I’m looking forward to try Impadia!

  • Feminine Perfume lover says:

    I loved the way Steven described the scent of Impadia. I’ve always loved Rose perfumes and I cannot wait to smell and try this one! The notes on it sound so divine and I am excited for this new perfume!

  • Elizabeth Morales says:

    I loved these description of the fragrance. Good luck everyone!

  • knomrlse@gmail.com says:

    I enjoy the description and review of the fragrances, from the USA. Good luck everyone!

  • Devry says:

    Steven description of Impadia sounds like such a unique take on rose. I can’t wait to smell it. I have always found BDK perfumes to be so lovely and fun to wear.

  • Veronique Dupuy says:

    As usual Steven did a great job at describing Impadia from BDK (including how to pronounce it). The 2 varieties of rose and the pear note, the boss vibe that it gives and the fact that Steven wore and enjoyed the fragrance makes the review really credible and authentic. I’d be so grateful to enjoy Impadia and this would make my Mother’s Day truly special. Cheers from Southern California, USA

  • Annika says:

    I never realized that the same type of rose, Damascena in this instance, can have such different olfactory profiles solely based on the extraction process. The green metallic notes from the Bulgarian Rose essence combined with the honey and cocoa notes from the Turkish Rose Absolute make for a complete and well-rounded rose. For me, rose is the quintessential feminine scent and I think BDK Parfums Impadia would be perfect for Mother’s Day. MD, USA

  • teatreesoil says:

    steven always does such a great job with reviewing perfumes, i appreciate that he shares scent associations since so much of perfume is personal, the vibes are sometimes a lot easier to understand than “oh, there’s pear in here”
    between steven’s review and jordi fernandez’s description of unique extraction methods, i’m really curious about how photorealistic the rose notes in BDK parfums impadia are! there’s a few famous rose gardens near where i grew up, so the scent of a rose in full bloom is very special to me (and of course, perfectly seasonally appropriate for mother’s day)

    thanks from the USA 🙂

  • roxhas1cat says:

    After Steven’s description I was sad as I was at my local shop and forgot to test this one while I was there. I love Jordi’s explanation of the 2 rose varieties. Thanks Michelyn for remembering the Mom’s in our memory.
    Luckily I still have my Mom, but love the those who have passed are not forgotten. I’m wearing a beautiful rose (Ta’if by Ormond Jayne) today…..sadly I’m on the last few sprays in my bottle. This gives me ideas for my next rose. Thanks! USA.

  • Brandon Rodriguez says:

    Steven’s review about a strong powerful rose this is a wonderful scent that I’d love to win for my wife. A reminder everytime she takes in this scent throughout the day that she is elegant and a BOSS. Impadia would be fantastic for her. Live in NY, USA. Good luck and happy Mother’s Day to all the moms.

  • mmerline says:

    Lovely intro from Michelyn and three blurbs from Steven that highlight how much range rose fragrances can have. I’m intrigued by the dry, sparkling texture of Dom Rosa, paired with all those woody notes in “harmony and duality”. Reading David and Jordi’s comments, I appreciated the breakdown of how Bulgarian and Turkish rose differ; I’ll keep that in mind when I smell rose in fragrances.

    I’m in the USA.

  • Shannon says:

    This is a lovely tribute to mothers and maternal figures, framing fragrance as a meaningful way to create “liquid memories” for Mother’s Day 2025. Steven thoughtfully categorized three rose perfumes by personality, offering tailored suggestions for different “mom styles”, which is helpful.

    Dom Rosa by Liquides Imaginaires is presented as a sophisticated and celebratory choice for the “Elegant Mom,” with its intriguing champagne opening leading into a classic Damask rose and a grounding woody base. I have not tried Dom Rosa, but Steven’s comments about it being effervescent and bright make it sound beautiful. Villa Primerose by Atelier des Ors seems perfect for the “Romantic Mom,” described as a “heavenly blend of rose and iris” with a sensual yet gentle quality, enhanced by a sparkling pear note. The bottle of Villa Primerose is indeed stunning. Steven spoke of its freshness, so I must test this one! Finally, BDK Parfums Impadia is suggested for the “Confident Mom,” showcasing the photorealistic beauty of Bulgarian and Turkish roses. Steven’s comments about BDK Impadia make me want this so much! To be able to convey authority through a fragrance is particularly helpful in my line of work.

    The inclusion of insights from the perfumers themselves adds a rich layer of understanding to Impadia, highlighting the distinct characteristics of the two rose varieties and the intention behind their harmonious blend.

    My gratitude to Kintessence for their generosity. I reside in the northwest USA.

  • Sulema Sosa says:

    I so love rose scents and can’t wait to try all of Steven’s top suggestions. Steven has such an elegance. He mesmerizes me with all his videos. Keep it up Steven I live in the USA, in Texas to be exact, and I love perfumes!

  • womaningold says:

    BDK Parfums’ latest creation, Impadia, is a masterful blend that captures the essence of a Parisian day—from the first light of dawn to the golden hues of dusk. Crafted by perfumer Jordi Fernández, this unisex Eau de Parfum intertwines the freshness of Italian mandarin and bergamot with the sweetness of pear, leading into a heart of Bulgarian and Turkish roses complemented by Moroccan orange blossom. The base reveals a warm embrace of Akigalawood, Madagascar vanilla, and creamy sandalwood, creating a fragrance that’s both luminous and sensual .
    Owning Impadia would be more than just adding a perfume to my collection; it would be embracing a piece of art that tells a story of elegance, warmth, and the timeless beauty of Paris. Its unique blend resonates with my personal style and the emotions I seek to evoke through scent. Winning this fragrance would be an opportunity to experience and share the olfactory journey that BDK Parfums has so thoughtfully crafted.

  • ivy2025 says:

    First I absolutely love how he clarified the pronunciation but most importantly I love the description he gives. As a rose lover he makes me eager to smell Impadia and confident that I won’t be disappointed! I am in the United States.

  • brentm says:

    Impadia sounds like an absolutely beautiful fragrance and would be perfect for my wife. As usual, Steven gives the best descriptions that I can almost smell them through My screen. Usa

  • ianbradleyandrews says:

    Stevens reviews never disappoint. He is so thorough. The BDK sounds awesome. I love rose and this sounds photorealistic.

    I’d love to win and live in Indiana.

  • fragtrail909 says:

    I am from the USA and really appreciated Steven’s warm tone when describing Impadia which described it as a luxurious but also wearable scent. Villa Primerose also caught my attention with its pear and iris mix. Lovely trio. From the US.

  • bernell79 says:

    Dom Rosa sounds like the scent version of a toast at a family brunch, something very joyful. I loved how Steven described Impadia with a similar sense of celebration but a more sensual vibe. And Villa Primerose, that pear and rose pairing sounds like the gentlest hug. Great range for sure.
    US

  • ForTheLoveofFrag says:

    I live in Florida and found the editorial and video both to be incredibly moving. Michelyn’s poetic words and Steven’s engaging review created such a well rounded picture. I would love to experience Impadia’s sensual rose, really intrigued by it.

  • chocoshelo says:

    The way Steven explained Impadia’s confidence really impressed me but I was also intrigued by the incense and clove in Dom Rosa. That smoky rose sounds like it would suit my aunt, who’s effortlessly stylish. I love how this trio covers such different moods of motherhood. USA

  • pinklagoon says:

    Steven’s passion for rose fragrances can be seen here. I enjoyed how Impadia sounds confident while Villa Primerose brings a powdery freshness. Dom Rosa’s sparkling champagne top sounds so unique. USA here!

  • rose95 says:

    Impadia’s layered roses and creamy base sound stunning, but I am equally fascinated by Dom Rosa’s blend of grapefruit and incense. I think my mom would love the elegance of that contrast.
    Happy Mother’s Day in advance! I am located in the USA.

  • CalebZ says:

    Villa Primerose is a beautiful perfume. The mix of sweet pear, florals and a soft velvety leather is divine. This is the scent I would get my mom for Mother’s Day. Impadia sounds lovely as well but I have not tried it yet. Seattle

  • Controlledbyscent31 says:

    I was really touched by how this article honored mothers in all their forms. As someone who lost mine young, fragrances like Villa Primerose with its comforting pear and amberwood bring back soft memories. Steven’s review helped make the new Impadia feel just as meaningful.

  • lillys says:

    Dom Rosa sounds like the life of the party.I liked how Steven’s review of Impadia showed it as something very sublime and not too loud and Villa Primerose feels like that sweet, graceful presence you always look forward to.USA

  • Maidenhead says:

    I really liked how Steven described Impadia. I have not tried any of these but this BDK has me intrigued!!!! Dom Rosa sounds really good along with Villa Primerose. Happy Mother’s Day in advance to all the mother out there!!

  • Karen Cuellar says:

    I love roses perfume , one of my favorites are Delina , rose of no man’s land , I have dom Rose and I love it an effervescent rose , I will love to try Atelier des Ors in my wish list are pink me up and Villa Primerose, thank you so much for the opportunity

  • INYA says:

    All sound fantastic! My Mom’s garden was full of the scent of roses in bloom. Each unique and beautiful. So naturally, I’m a fan of rose based fragrances. Steven mentioned Dom Rosa, which I love. Impadia sounds fabulous because of the spice. I’m definitely a fan of unisex perfume. Thanks for another fantastic review and draw. MI USA

  • Thebluelotus says:

    Steven’s review made me look at rose perfumes differently. I used to think they were all the same, but now I see how nuanced they are. Dom Rosa’s use of clove and incense makes it feel edgy, while Villa Primerose seems softer. USA

  • whispering moonlight says:

    Villa Primerose really stuck with me, the way rose and iris blend sounds so soothing and feminine. Steven’s review made Impadia feel bolder, with its dual roses and woody base. There’s something here for every kind of mom. I am located in the USA.

  • Perpetual collector says:

    I appreciate how the three scents cater to different types of femininity, being elegant, romantic, and confident. Steven brought out that confidence in Impadia so well and it makes it sound like a perfume for a mom who surprises you. I look forward to getting my nose on all 3. Thanks for the opportunity. U.S.A.

  • oswalson says:

    Steven’s breakdown of the roses in Impadia was so educational, and the base notes really appealed to me. Dom Rosa’s champagne note is also very interesting. It’s like a fragrant cheers to motherhood. And Villa Primerose seems like pure comfort in a bottle. All very beautiful! Thanks for introducing me to these amazing frags. I am in the US.

  • chini01 says:

    Impadia based on how steven described it sounds very warm and enveloping. I also love how Villa Primerose includes cardamom and pink pepper which adds this zing to otherwise floral notes.From the USA and truly enjoyed reading the review.

  • Lyly R says:

    Steven, thank you for make this give away for Mother’s Day, I would like to participate for the BDK Impadia

  • Katrina Stout says:

    The fragrance from this lineup that spoke to me is Villa Primrose. Steven’s description fits me the best. As a mom of 2 teenagers, I’m always on the go. I would love to smell like a romantic mom. Thanks for the opportunity.

  • aditu says:

    This Mother’s Day is poignant for me since I lost my mom about 9 months ago and this is the first Mother’s Day without her. She loved the scent of roses and one of the first perfumes I owned, which she helped me pick out, was a Tea Rose fragrance. I enjoyed Steven’s description of the Villa Primerose fragrance for the outgoing, out and about, genial mom, because I think something like that would have suited her very well. The BDK insights were educational because I was not aware of the different extraction methods resulting in different scent profiles from the same species of rose! I am in MA.

  • Maryjean says:

    Thank you Michelyn for your special words on Mother’s Day. Rose is my favorite flower and note. Steven’s video describe BDK Impadia the Bulgarian and Turkish complement each other. That blend of florals and creamy sandalwood sounds like a wonderful fragrance. USA

  • muskyrose says:

    I never thought of pairing iris with rose, but Villa Primerose makes it sound so elegant and light. Steven’s video brought out Impadia’s strength and complexity so well. Dom Rosa feels like the wild card of the trio very unexpected yet refined. US

  • autumnblue9 says:

    The way Steven explained the difference between Turkish and Bulgarian rose made me appreciate Impadia even more. But I must say, I am alos very much intrigued by the playfulness in Dom Rosa. Each one offers a different type of emotional comfort.Many heartfelt thanks-USA

  • oudmymood says:

    Steven’s breakdown was excellent especially his explanation of how Akigalawood gives Impadia structure without heaviness really helped me to picture it in a better way. I also think the fruity rose combo in Dom Rosa sounds perfect for spring. I will love to try all three and thanks for giving this opportunity to win Impadia. Really appreciate it. Cheers, US

  • elenitsaa says:

    Villa Primerose sounds like it has this nostalgic, almost vintage softness maybe due to the iris and musk. Steven’s description of Impadia offered a nice contrast as it seems very modern in comparison. Dom Rosa adds a bit of sparkle and edge to round it out! All 3 being excellent choices.

  • Rossco68 says:

    Impadia is probably the ultimate rose powerhouse. The blend of Bulgarian and Turkish rose with that spicy, confident edge is exactly what my mom would love. Steven’s description of it as
    boss-level CEO vibes is spot-on, she’s a strong woman who deserves a fragrance as bold as she is. And that vanilla-sandalwood drydown is soooo divine. I live in the USA, and his review made me crave this scent!

  • carrie_earle says:

    I’ll be sampling this fragrance soon because of Steven’s review. Boss lady and confidant. It was nice to learn that BDK highlights different attributes of Rose in each of its fragrances.

    Metro Detroit, Michigan – USA

  • cocomoose says:

    Impadia’s dual rose varieties (Bulgarian and Turkish) make it stand out from other floral perfumes. Steven nailed it when he said it’s authoritative but not authoritarian. That akigalawood twist sounds addictive. I live in the USA and I am obsessed with how he broke down its complexity.

  • MysticalArugula says:

    Each of these perfumes reminds me of a different type of woman in my family. Dom Rosa is for my grandmother, Villa Primerose for my sweet aunt, and Impadia for my ambitious sister. Steven’s video helped me visualize how they would each wear it. Lovely review and loved the intro. Thanks USA

  • jazz says:

    Okay but how good does Impadia sound though?! A spicy rose with vanilla and sandalwood sounds so good. My basic white girl heart is screaming. Steven’s description has me ready to blind buy this for my bougie aunt who thinks she’s the family CEO I am in the USA.

  • maarwah says:

    Dom Rosa is stunning, but Impadia has my heart. The way Steven described its photorealistic roses and orange blossom freshness makes it sound like walking through a sunlit garden. I live in the USA, and Steven’s passion for this fragrance is contagious!

  • scentista says:

    Impadia’s unisex appeal is so intriguing, I am sure just like steven said it would smell divine on a confident woman. The contrast between the bright citrus opening and the woody vanilla base is unique for sure. I live in the USA, Thank you.

  • scenchanting says:

    I could see myself gifting Villa Primerose to someone who loves graceful, delicate scents, while Dom Rosa would be my pick for someone bold and artistic. Steven’s insights into Impadia made it the standout for me, creamy, romantic, unique….it has everything imo. Just perfect! US

  • kokichen says:

    This whole Mother’s Day tribute is such a lovely gesture. Steven’s video felt honest and relatable and I appreciated the review of Impadia. I also really liked the poetic description of Dom Rosa and that of Villa Primerose. It’s clear these fragrances were chosen with heart and all of them are amazing choices. FL, USA

  • fragrancegorlie says:

    Happy Mother’s day in advance.
    Most rose perfumes are soft, but Impadia has a different vibe to it. Steven’s description of the metallic green freshness of Bulgarian rose vs the warmth of Turkish rose was so insightful. My mom loves unique scents and this would be a standout in her collection. I am in the US.

  • pomona vitalis says:

    That akigalawood vanilla combo has me weak. Steven wasn’t lying when he said this is for confident queens! Really want to try Impadia. IL(US)

  • Maria says:

    Wow I’m so excited to try Impadia. Sounds perfection for mothers day. Rose is one of my favorite notes. I’m in FL USA

  • Amanda32828 says:

    Michelyn Camen and Steven Gavrielatos share three lovely rose perfumes for Mother’s Day 2025. Each scent sounds special and perfect for gifting. I have to confess that I have not had the opportunity to experience any of them, and since they all sound wonderfully perfect it is sort of difficult to choose one. Thank you for the awesome review, it is undoubtedly a sweet and helpful guide for anyone who loves rose perfumes. Commenting from Orlando, Fl. USA.

  • kimmy22 says:

    Impadia’s innovative blending of two rose varieties demonstrates BDK’s mastery. Steven’s note about the orange blossom mimicing the floral realism is particularly interesting. This strikes me as the ideal gift for my mother. I am a registered reader in the USA.

  • ScentNScent says:

    Impadia sounds like the perfect rose perfume for a confident woman. I love that it combines both Bulgarian and Turkish roses for something truly special. Steven’s description makes me want to try it immediately.

  • almondlover says:

    I love that Impadia is bold yet balanced spicy rose with a smooth vanilla base. It sounds like a fragrance that would leave a lasting impression and all three of the fragrances sound very exquisite. CA, USA

  • Melissa K says:

    I have a hard time with rose perfumes, finding them too artificial, overwhelming or just not pleasant to my nose. It is very possible I could find my rose fragrance in this selection, as they all sound divine. A little spice, some vanilla, green notes – a winner? Kentucky USA

  • wallygator88 says:

    Thanks for the video Steven and the nice writeup Michelyn.

    Out of the three, I really enjoyed learning about Villa Primerose and Impadia. Although both have similarities in terms of notes like pear, I like how Villa Primerose leans fresh in spite of the use of iris and leather, while Impadia leans spicy with the use of orange blossom and Akigalawood.

    Would love to try either of these.

    Cheers from WI, USA

  • Amanda B says:

    Steven’s review slapped… in a good way. He zeroed in on the metallic snap of the Bulgarian rose versus the honey-laced Turkish vibe and showed how the orange blossom spikes the whole thing with air. The “photoreal” description sold me; I want petals, not syrup. Appreciate the brand intel too—nice to see Benedek and Fernández break down why the two roses play so well together.

  • DAVID says:

    Villa primrose is the one I believe has the right “stuff’. The subtle richness is what makes the vast difference between a fragrance versus just another scent. The impadia is appealing for a mother that is established but also has a lively and youthful attitude towards their day to day activities. From NC.

  • mginsh7 says:

    The description of Dom Rosa as a “toast to life and love” how celebratory! I’m always drawn to sophisticated fragrances that can transition from day to evening, and that combination of Damask rose with cedar and guaiac wood sounds perfect for those sunset dinner parties I love to host. The way BDK describes the different extraction methods for Turkish and Bulgarian roses is absolutely fascinating! I had no idea that the same damascena rose species could yield such different olfactory qualities – fresh and metallic from Bulgaria versus warm and honeyed from Turkey.
    From North Carolina 🙂

  • anjus says:

    Villa Primerose sounds like exactly what I’d choose for my own mother – that combination of fresh pear and iris with rose centifolia sounds so uplifting and elegant! Steven’s description of it being fresh, sporty, and outgoing is exactly the balance I look for in everyday fragrances here in the south where strong projecting scents can be overwhelming in the summer. Personally would love Impadia, fingers crossed!
