Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rose Geranium

This isn't for everyone. Some call it an old-fashioned citronella candle from hell, others a sophisticated, green garden delight. This divisive scent isn't one you spray thoughtlessly, so proceed with caution if you aren't ready for a proper garden party.

Statement

Our Verdict - Red Rose

This isn't just a simple rose perfume; it's a rich, complex British bloom that demands attention. A proper, old-school floral with modern depth.
