Which Should You Buy?
This is Perris Monte Carlo's love letter to the Taif rose, a bold and unashamedly rosy affair that divides opinion. Some find it a realistic, exquisite rose, while others are put off by its sharp green and lemony facets.
Divisive and mature, this is a love-it-or-hate-it rose. Some find it a photorealistic dream, others a 'car air freshener' or 'old granny' soap. Not for the faint of heart, or those under 50 according to a few.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.
Occasions
Its potent projection and intense rose accord make it a bit much for the office, but its sophisticated character is well-suited for formal events and even a confident date night. While some find it too sharp for casual wear, its fresh aspects allow for some daytime versatility.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
While some find it versatile, its strong, sometimes 'beast mode' projection and mature character make it less suitable for an office. It shines in formal settings due to its elegance, and can be worn casually if you prefer a noticeable scent.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Rose, Fresh Spicy, Aromatic accords and Rose, Geranium notes
