Which Should You Buy?
This is a bold, divisive rose, proving that 'jammy' can mean wildly different things to different noses. Some find it a sweet, boozy delight, others a cloying, chemical mess or sour 'stale beer'. Love it or hate it, Rose Flash certainly makes an entrance.
This one's a divisive beast. Some find it a 'Gothic masterpiece' with dark elegance; others are attacked by 'skanky oud' and 'outdated' rose that 'violates' the nose. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it affair, so test before you commit.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Rose Flash's immense projection and longevity make it unsuitable for sensitive environments like the office. It excels in evenings and formal events where the opulent, rich rose can truly shine, but it's too heavy for casual daytime wear or sport.
Seasons
A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.
Occasions
Its strong projection and unique, potentially polarising scent profile make it less suitable for office wear. However, its bold and mysterious character lends itself well to evening dates and formal events where you want to make a statement.
