What do reviewers say about Rosa Absolute and Porpora?
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
Two hours in, you're still catching it. The rose has deepened into something almost resinous, the Bulgarian absolute holding its shape while everything around it softens.Porpora
