What do reviewers say about Lu and Dark Purple?
This rose doesn't apologize for its musk. Bold, animalic without crossing into anything raunchy. An intimate one. The kind worth choosing. One spray and people notice.Lu
Most fruity-florals play it safe. Dark Purple doesn't, plum and orange open bright, but the dark rose and patchouli pull the whole thing somewhere deeper.Dark Purple
