Which Should You Buy?
This isn't just another rose; it's a 'desert rose' that's dividing opinion. Some find it a captivating, nuanced take on the classic floral, dusty and sophisticated. Others say it's more potpourri than perfume, with an antique vibe that might not be for everyone. Expect a love-it-or-hate-it reaction.
A modern, romantic iris that balances delicate powder with a surprisingly sensual resinous depth. It's a crowd-pleaser for iris lovers, especially those who find other iterations a bit too much, earning it a cult following and strong recommendations despite its comparative cost.
