What do reviewers say about Captivating and Classique?
This is the rose for people who claim to hate it. The fruit keeps it honest, the iris keeps it interesting, and the sandalwood keeps it from being just another floral.Captivating
The sillage is not subtle. People will smell you before they see you. That's not a warning, it's the point. Classique is for the woman who walks into a room and changes the air in it.Classique
