Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, dramatic, and definitely not for the faint of heart. This isn't your everyday rose, but a dark, earthy, powerhouse patchouli bomb that demands respect and commands attention. You'll either love its intense, gothic allure or find it utterly overwhelming.
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.
