Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rose de Nuit
This isn't your grandma's rose. Serge Lutens Rose de Nuit is a divisive, darkly captivating beast. Prepare for a rich, animalic rose that some find morbidly beautiful, others an off-putting relic. Definitely not a blind buy, but endlessly fascinating.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Intense Amber
Divisive, potent and utterly misleading: Intense Amber is anything but a classic amber. Expect a bold, sweet rose and raspberry bomb with serious staying power. You'll either adore its persistent fruitiness or find it overwhelmingly artificial.
