Chypre Charnel

Which Should You Buy?
Rose Noir is a divisive one. There's a brilliant, moody rose and moss core for some, while for others, it's a sour, fleeting mess. Not a safe blind buy, so sample before committing - your chemistry may vary wildly.
Chypre Charnel splits opinion: some hail it as a masterclass in modern chypre, sophisticated and sensual, while others find its fruitiness too prominent, missing the genre's classic bite and smelling 'pestilential'. It's certainly a grown-up take on fruity chypres, but not for everyone.
