Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Artist No.1
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a 'generational wealth' rose-patchouli masterpiece; for others, it's straight-up dill pickle juice. Try before you buy, but expect compliments if it works for you.

Our Verdict - Portfolio Cupid's Rose
A truly gorgeous, jammy rose that smells way more expensive than it is - though some found it overpriced upon launch. This one's a crowd-pleaser for anyone after a rich, sweet, and masculine rose, especially when the weather cools.
