Which Should You Buy?
A pretty, if fleeting, floral burst for those who love straightforward rose. Don't expect a power-player, but it's a solid choice for warm weather when you want something light and joyful.
Paul Smith Rose is the ultimate fresh, 'straight from the garden' rose that dodges all the usual 'old lady' criticisms. It's a crowd-pleaser and a definite hidden gem, though be warned: some find its green tea note a bit too sharp or synthetic, and performance is a bit hit or miss.
