De Costa Rouge
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This is *the* patchouli fragrance, a divisive beast but an absolute masterpiece for those who get it. Expect an intense, earthy chocolate cake journey. Not for the faint-hearted, but pure gold if you love a statement scent.
De Costa Rouge is a solid, crowd-pleasing amber-rose that punches well above its weight. It's a bit of an enigma, a chameleon, but in a good way.
