What do reviewers say about La Belle de Russie and Russian Flowers Exciting?
This fragrance demands a certain kind of commitment. The powdery floral heart isn't for those who want scent to disappear into the background. La Belle de Russie's musk and patchouli ground.La Belle de Russie
What makes Russian Flowers Exciting work is the rhubarb. Not green and leafy, sharp and alive. It gives the rose and violet something to play off instead of just floating in sweetness.Russian Flowers Exciting
