What do reviewers say about Tainted Love and Lipstick Rose?
Synthetic isn't a flaw, it's the point. Tainted Love opens with bright pear that melts into powdery violet and a lipstick accord, an openly cosmetic scent that invites you closer.Tainted Love
Lipstick Rose doesn't smell like a rose. It smells like the powder puff lifted to the face, the lipstick dragged across the lip, the moment before the mirror opens its light.Lipstick Rose
