What do reviewers say about Rose Absolute and 26?
Rose Absolute skips the two obvious moves, the red-hot va-va-voom rose and the dusty potpourri kind. Instead: a perfumer's rose. Focused. Intimate. The powder keeps it grounded without any grandma.Rose Absolute
The green notes hit you first and they are proper, not synthetic. Then the jasmine and rose step in, but they never get cloying thanks to that patchouli backbone.26
