Real talk
The cumin in Black Rose is the divide. Some reach for it instinctively; others pull back. What it gives you, if you stay: a rose that smells worn, not displayed. Warm in the way skin is warm.Black Rose
Unapologetically sweet. Candied citrus upfront, toffee warmth in the heart, patchouli staying warm and close. If that sounds like your kind of statement, this one earns its gold.Rose Gold Edition
