    What do reviewers say about Purple Rose - Rosa Purpurea and Stella?

    Some rose fragrances announce themselves. This one slips in quietly, tart mandarin, then a red rose that settles into powdery iris and stays close. It's the kind of clean that doesn't need to prove.Purple Rose - Rosa Purpurea
    Stella doesn't try to be interesting. It tries to be liked, and it mostly succeeds. The mandarin orange opens bright and confident, the florals arrive and soften the citrus, and the warm amber base.Stella
