Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rose Essentielle EDP
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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - 085 Rose Essentielle EDP
A clean, classy rose that mirrors Rose Essentielle's mimosa-tinged elegance well, if with less of the original's crisp, non-cloying sparkle.
