What do reviewers say about Nahema and China Rose?
Nahema is named for something powerful, something that resonates beyond its literal meaning. Here's the twist: some say there's no actual rose in it, just chemistry playing the part.Nahema
A rose that refuses to apologize. It's powdery but never retiring, warm but never cozy. The clove keeps it interesting, the vetiver keeps it real. This is the fragrance for someone who doesn't need.China Rose
