Which Should You Buy?
This floral woody musk is a divisive affair. Some find it a beautifully balanced, romantic rose. Others complain it's too spicy, too woody, and just a bit odd, with some even smelling 'coke' or a 'chemical-woody composition'. It's certainly no safe blind buy.
This is a bold, divisive rose, proving that 'jammy' can mean wildly different things to different noses. Some find it a sweet, boozy delight, others a cloying, chemical mess or sour 'stale beer'. Love it or hate it, Rose Flash certainly makes an entrance.
