What do reviewers say about Kyoto and Rouge?
The beetroot note will divide opinion. Mineral earth, dark rose, smoke. The fragrance combines these elements in a way that does not compromise or soften its edges.Kyoto
Beetroot is not a polite note. It smells like earth, like root vegetable, like something just pulled from dark soil. Either that's exactly what you're after, or it sounds like a salad.Rouge
