Fortnum & Mason The Perfume EDP

Which Should You Buy?
Divisive and expensive, with a strong cumin note that either captivates or repels. Nüwa is a high-class rose chypre from Roja that sparks intense debate over its merits, especially concerning its price tag and distinct 'old version' spiciness.
This is a bold, complex scent that manages to be both dirty and sweet. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of fragrance, with many finding it an intriguing masterpiece but some not impressed by the repetition of Roja's signature oud-like accords.
