Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rose Flash
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.

Our Verdict - Rose Malaki
Rose Malaki is a divisive rose-oud scent - some find it an affordable, elegant take on the classic combo, praising its longevity and versatility, while others dismiss it as 'cheap and sweaty'. Consider trying before you buy, as opinions vary wildly.
