Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rose Sapphire EDP
A divisive, opulent rose amber that proves some things are worth the price. While some find it underwhelming, for others, Rose Sapphire is a warm, spicy masterpiece, a more delicate, less 'burning' alternative to classic rose powerhouses. Not for the faint of heart or light of wallet.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Ruby EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Boadicea The Victorious Rose Sapphire - a warm spicy fragrance led by Saffron, Geranium, Turmeric, with floral depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.
