Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Crimson Rocks Eau de Parfum
Crimson Rocks is a bold, divisive cinnamon bomb with a sticky honeyed rose heart. Some find it a delicious, regal winter warmer, while others are suffocated by the spice and find it too challenging or even 'geriatric'. Definitely try before you buy.

Our Verdict - Rose Absolue Eau de Parfum
A bittersweet symphony for rose lovers, Rose Absolue is universally adored for its jammy, boozy depth but widely mourned for its discontinuation. If you can track down a bottle, you're in for a treat; just be prepared for the hunt.
