Which Should You Buy?
Velvet Rose by Lattafa is a proper love-it-or-hate-it scent. Expect a divisive opening that some find chemical or 'fizzy', but for many, it mellows into a surprisingly sophisticated and elegant rose-patchouli-amber blend. It's a statement, not a whisper.
This isn't for the faint of heart. Army of Lovers is a full-throttle, unapologetically bold rose beast, though some find it a bit too much or even bland. It's a statement, not a whisper - and you'll either adore its diva energy or consider it a ‘dirty animal’ you'd rather avoid.
