What do reviewers say about Lipstick Rose and Drôle de Rose?
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
Here's the thing about Drôle de Rose: it's not a rose fragrance. It's a powder fragrance that happens to include a rose. The anise at the opening either pulls you in or makes you check the bottle.Drôle de Rose
