Which Should You Buy?
This is a challenging but ultimately rewarding take on rose, a love-it-or-hate-it affair that’s definitely not for everyone. It's a statement, not a crowd-pleaser, delivering a dark, intellectual twist on a classic floral.
A seriously divisive one, this. It's a dead ringer for a high-end niche scent, with some calling it a masterpiece of inky, dusty rose and incense. But for others, it's a 'crypt-like' horror show, far too challenging for everyday wear. Approach with caution and an open mind.
