What do reviewers say about Always Red and Flowerbomb Midnight?
The name says everything and nothing. Always Red opens with a tartness that surprises, plum skin, not plum jam. It's the kind of sweet that knows it doesn't need permission.Always Red
Sweet enough to pull you in, floral enough to keep you there. Flowerbomb Midnight doesn't play both ends, it plays the whole middle. Blackcurrant opens bright, jasmine takes over the middle hours.Flowerbomb Midnight
