What do reviewers say about Black Lotus and Rose de Russie?
Some roses blush. This one has backbone. The saffron and pink pepper open like a challenge, then the rose deepens into something that doesn't need permission.Black Lotus
This fragrance will divide you. The smoky leather and tarry rose either grab you at first encounter or send you running. Those who love it keep reaching for it at midnight.Rose de Russie
