Which Should You Buy?
A truly gorgeous, refined fragrance that elevates the wearer. If you like soft rose and spice, this is a crowd-pleasing, understated masterpiece, though some find it a bit too subtle for the price.
This one is a classic love-it-or-hate-it Roja, a bold rose-oud with an herbal, spicy edge. Some find it a masterpiece of East-meets-West perfumery, rich and opulent. Others reckon it's a 'musty old lady' scent, overpriced and overhyped. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
