Which Should You Buy?
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.
This is a gorgeous, creamy tropical floral with a distinctive Narciso musk base - a holiday in a bottle that captures soft, sun-warmed skin. Divisive only for its longevity, not its scent profile, Ambree is a summer slam-dunk.
