Which Should You Buy?
This is Serge Lutens' unapologetic ode to the rose: vivid, natural, and utterly majestic. While some find it linear or even too intense, rose enthusiasts will adore its authentic, fresh-from-the-garden character, offering a masterclass in rose soliflores that few can match.
This flanker isn't a radical departure from the original Flower, but it's refined, less cloying, and more balanced. It's a powdery floral that dances on the edge of 'too much', but largely succeeds due to its excellent blending and surprising longevity. A touch divisive, but mostly loved.
