Which Should You Buy?
A divisive yet undeniably potent rose-incense powerhouse, Porpora is an 'of-its-kind' statement. Some say it's an improved version of a well-known classic, others a 'loud and obnoxious' imitation. Either way, expect to be noticed.
Francesca Dell'Oro's "There's a Place" is a seriously classy, sophisticated rose that sidesteps any 'granny' or 'girly' tropes. It's an astounding, confident gem that whispers elegance rather than screams, earning it universal praise for its refined character.
