What do reviewers say about Rose Barbare and Rose de Nuit?
Rose Barbare does not want you to feel comfortable. The aldehydes hit first like a slap of cold water, then fenugreek arrives to complicate things further.Rose Barbare
The beeswax is either the best thing about this fragrance or the thing that sends you running. For those who stay: it's a dark, sensual rose with real weight. Not trying to be liked.Rose de Nuit
