What do reviewers say about Dark and Rose Etoile de Hollande?
The metallic-rose accord either intrigues you or makes you reach for something safer. It's the scent of someone who picks based on curiosity, not comfort, modern, a little abstract.Dark
The aldehydes here are the divide. They make the peach feel almost crystalline at first, which isn't everyone's idea of a good time. But give it an hour.Rose Etoile de Hollande
