Which Should You Buy?
This isn't just a carnation perfume; it's a divisive, yet celebrated, masterwork. While some find its spicy, powdery intensity a bit much, many hail it as a unique, sophisticated, and surprisingly modern take on a classic floral. Definitely not a safe blind buy, as it morphs differently on various skins.
This is a gorgeous, complex rose that's undeniably polarizing. Initial impressions can vary wildly, with some finding it a bit 'old-fashioned' or powdery, but give it time to macerate and it develops into something truly stunning and well-blended.
