Real talk
Leather in a rose scent sounds intimidating, but here it is structural rather than dominant. This is for someone who wants florals with an edge and intellectual depth.Kept
Portrait of a Lady is rose pushed past comfortable. The Turkish rose doesn't whisper, it insists. Frankincense and patchouli anchor it in something smoky, almost ecclesiastical. Some find it too much.Portrait of a Lady
