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 one's a bit of a mixed bag; some find its fresh, clean character a touch 'boring' for the price, while others praise its gorgeous, energising floral blend. It's pleasant enough, but for Roja, maybe a bit safe.
