Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Burning Rose EDP
Prepare for a dark, spicy rose. While some find it subtle and refined, others experience a bold, almost 'bitchy' kick. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent that commands attention, leaning into a deeply sensual, mysterious aura rather than a fresh bouquet.

Our Verdict - Picky Rose EDP
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.
