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.
This one's a proper wild card. If you're after a true-to-life rose, not some watered-down interpretation, this might be your jam. But brace yourself - the geranium can be a bit shouty, and some find it a touch boring. A love-it-or-hate-it affair, definitely not a safe blind buy.
