Which Should You Buy?
A Bulgarian Otto rose soliflore from the 2015 Section d'Or - a lush, full-blooded rose veiled in peach, tuberose-edged greenness, styrax, and clean musk. Beautiful in the first hour, divisive in the dry-down.
This one's a divisive beast. Many adore its rich, distinctive scent, especially the oil version, for its unique blend of dried fruits, nuts, and dark rose. However, be warned: the EDP can be a potent, almost overwhelming, beast that some find too much.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Lush damascena rose with peach and styrax sits warmest in autumn and cool spring; the white-musk dry-down is too soft for deep winter and the rose body too rich for high summer.
Occasions
Rose-soliflore character with carnation and styrax is a natural fit for date and formal evenings; not for sport, and too distinctive for casual day or office without cooler weather.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent nature and strong projection, especially in the EDP, make it unsuitable for an office environment. However, its bold, distinctive character is well-suited for special occasions and cooler evening wear, such as dates or formal events.
