Which Should You Buy?
A bittersweet symphony for rose lovers, Rose Absolue is universally adored for its jammy, boozy depth but widely mourned for its discontinuation. If you can track down a bottle, you're in for a treat; just be prepared for the hunt.
Francesca Dell'Oro's "There's a Place" is a seriously classy, sophisticated rose that sidesteps any 'granny' or 'girly' tropes. It's an astounding, confident gem that whispers elegance rather than screams, earning it universal praise for its refined character.
