What do reviewers say about Folie Douce and Rose Ispahan?
This is the powder puff that doesn't try too hard. Sweet, yes. Fruity from the blackcurrant. But the bay leaf and iris keep it interesting, a little green, a little dry.Folie Douce
Rose Ispahan doesn't perform. It settles. Sweet enough to feel like a second skin, warm enough for November evenings. The kind of fragrance your grandmother probably had, and now you understand why.Rose Ispahan
