Which Should You Buy?
Prepare for impact. Rose de Russie is a bruising, unapologetic leather-rose that's utterly divisive. It's not for the faint-hearted, but if you're after something bold and unconventional, this might just be your dark delight.
This one is a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect strong opinions, divisive reactions, and a good few people telling you it smells like 'fancy dirt'. It's unapologetically bold, so if you're after subtle, look elsewhere.
