Acquired
Our Verdict - Armani Prive Rose d'Arabie L'Or du Desert EDP
This is a statement rose-patchouli bomb with divisive strength. Some adore its opulent, '10/10' nature, while others find its intensity bordering on 'over the top' and 'cloying'. It's for those who want to be noticed, for better or worse.
