    Real talk

    It's not a shy rose. Not a shouty one either. It arrives with the confidence of something that knows exactly what it is, fruity opening that clears the room first.Rosa Absolute
    Cherry and oud sounds like a clash, but Guerlain makes it work by letting the sweet fruit transform the dark wood rather than fight it. The leather drydown is dark and warm.Cherry Oud
