What do reviewers say about Lipstick Rose and French Kiss?
Lipstick Rose doesn't smell like a rose. It smells like the powder puff lifted to the face, the lipstick dragged across the lip, the moment before the mirror opens its light.Lipstick Rose
This is the fragrance that makes powdery sexy again. Raspberry and violet play sweet and tart, then melt into something that wears like a second skin.French Kiss
