Which Should You Buy?
This isn't your grandma's rose. Serge Lutens Rose de Nuit is a divisive, darkly captivating beast. Prepare for a rich, animalic rose that some find morbidly beautiful, others an off-putting relic. Definitely not a blind buy, but endlessly fascinating.
This one's a timeless charmer, harking back to an earlier era but still completely relevant. It’s discreetly elegant, surprisingly good value, and won't offend a soul.
