Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Essence No. 1 Rose
This isn't just another rose scent; it's a Francis Kurkdjian masterpiece. Expect a creamy, multifaceted rose with gourmand touches, from Turkish delight to candied lemons. It's a divisive one, though, with some finding it too sweet or even musky. Not a safe blind buy, but a must-try for rose lovers.

Our Verdict - Rose de Grasse
This budget-friendly rose is a bit of a mixed bag; some find it a delightful, photorealistic bloom, while a fair few others get a synthetic, cheap vibe. Still, for the price, it might just be the simple rose you've been searching for - if your skin chemistry plays nice.
