Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rose Essentielle Eau de Parfum
This is a powdery, effortlessly elegant rose that divides opinion. Some find it beautiful and soft, others a dated headache. It's sadly discontinued, causing much wailing and gnashing of teeth among its devotees.

Our Verdict - Fleur de Rocaille Eau de Parfum
This perfume is a divisive '90s floral bombshell, often described as a 'flowerbomb' that's either breathtakingly beautiful or overwhelmingly aggressive. Some find it a clean, soft floral, others a beast mode scent that refuses to be ignored. You'll either adore its loud, honeyed sweetness or find it a scrubbing challenge.
