What do reviewers say about Celtic Rose and Smyrna?
Celtic Rose doesn't shout. The pepper is there, but it's been tamed into something almost gentle, more suggestion than statement. If you're looking for a rose that punches, this isn't it.Celtic Rose
A rose with pepper in its spine, not its petals. Built for evenings where you're not trying to impress anyone. You already know who you are. Wear it when you want presence without noise.Smyrna
