What do reviewers say about The Coveted Duchess Rose and Stella?
If you want a rose that plays fair, this is not it. The mandarin gives it sparkle, but the drydown is where the real seduction happens. Long-lasting but never overwhelming.The Coveted Duchess Rose
Stella doesn't try to be interesting. It tries to be liked, and it mostly succeeds. The mandarin orange opens bright and confident, the florals arrive and soften the citrus, and the warm amber base.Stella
