    Real talk

    Four notes. Rose absolute with geranium, immortelle, and musk. Ellena stripped it back this far because there's nowhere left to hide, and somehow, that's everything. Simplicity as a dare.Rose de Mai
    Some roses compete for attention. This one doesn't need to. If you've been burned by syrupy rose perfumes that smell like potpourri and filler, Rose Splendide is the reset.Rose Splendide
