What do reviewers say about Oajan and Hollyrose?
Oajan doesn't whisper. The cinnamon hits hard and the honey never lets go, but the osmanthus and artemisia keep it from becoming a sugar bomb. Not subtle, but never crude either.Oajan
Some roses flirt. This one argues. The leather isn't a background note, it's the whole point. Wear it if you want people to know you chose something, not something that chose you.Hollyrose
