What do reviewers say about Paestum Rose and Ballets Rouges?
Some rose fragrances are a gift. Paestum Rose is a discovery. The resins, the smoke, the papyrus at the base, this is rose for people who want the flower to earn its place. Not a Valentine's bouquet.Paestum Rose
Bold rose, vintage bones, contemporary musk. The chypre structure gives it weight. Not everyone wants to wear a dozen roses, but those who do will find something that lasts and evolves without.Ballets Rouges
