What do reviewers say about Madinah and Romae?
Rose-forward orientals can feel stiff or old-fashioned. Madinah sidesteps both. The davana gives it an herbaceous edge that keeps the rose from going bridal.Madinah
This isn't a fragrance that announces itself. It's the one people notice when you've already left the room, the trace of it, the question. Romae earns its reputation slowly, in powder and warmth.Romae
