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.
A modern classic that’s undeniably elegant. Gibeon takes a deep dive into powdery rose and orris, striking a luxurious balance that evokes nostalgia without ever feeling 'old'. It’s a beautifully blended, smooth operator, though some find it a bit too vintage for their taste.
