What do reviewers say about Rosewater and Maleficent?
This is for the person who wants a rose they can actually live in, not perform, but inhabit. Clean enough for a Tuesday morning meeting. Soft enough for the hour after.Rosewater
The plum note opens with real depth and tartness, grounding the fragrance in something unexpected. It's a scent that doesn't apologize for being different.Maleficent
