Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Royal Arms Diamond Edition

A divisive floral bouquet; some find it a gorgeous, powdery violet-rose delight, others just ‘old-lady’ stage makeup. It's a proper British country garden in a bottle, if a bit fleeting.

Our Verdict - Rose du Desert

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.
