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.
Divisive, high-quality, and anything but linear. This Roja Dove take on rose is a unique, complex beast, loved by some for its depth and dismissed by others as simply 'a rose'. It's sophisticated, green, and a departure from modern candied rose trends.
