Which Should You Buy?
Ardent is a smooth, sophisticated rose and beeswax number, a clear step up from TF Noir de Noir for many. Its elegant ambered-rose profile and softer projection make it more versatile, though some feel the performance could be bolder for the price.
This ain't your grandma's rose. Picky Rose is a divisive beast: some find it a sophisticated, powdery floral, others a 'smokey' mess. If you're after a clean, sweet rose, look elsewhere. For those who can ride its spicy, earthy wave to a sensual dry-down, it's a confident win.
