Which Should You Buy?
This isn't a demure rose, it's a wild, untamed garden. Rosabotanica is a divisive but much-loved green-spicy-woody floral that manages to be both unique and universally missed since its discontinuation. It's an acquired taste, but once you're in, you're obsessed.
A divisive scent from the 90s that’s now experiencing a bit of a nostalgic resurgence. Many still adore its unique clean freshness, while others find its retro vibe a bit too dated and synthetic. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who get it, it's pure pleasure.
