Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pure DKNY A Drop Of Rose EDP
This is a simple, dewy, fresh rose that many find intoxicating in its natural beauty. However, be warned: performance can be fleeting, leaving some frustrated. A love-it-or-hate-it for some, but generally a crowd-pleaser for rose lovers.

Our Verdict - Rose Encore EDT
A sparkling, modern take on rose that's bound to divide. Some will find its boozy, fruity effervescence pure joy, others might clock it as a bit much.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its prominent fruity and champagne notes make it a dazzling choice for dates and social gatherings, offering a blend of playful elegance. While not overly heavy, its distinctive character might be too distracting for a formal office setting or sporting activities where something lighter and more neutral is preferred.
