Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Zinobia

Prepare for a rich, powdery rose that delivers serious sophistication. This isn't a light scent; it's a statement piece, but one that needs the right crowd to truly shine.

Our Verdict - Rose De Mai

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.
