What do reviewers say about Rose de Nuit and Gris Montaigne?
The beeswax is either the best thing about this fragrance or the thing that sends you running. For those who stay: it's a dark, sensual rose with real weight. Not trying to be liked.Rose de Nuit
Chypre with a philosophy degree. The rose doesn't announce itself, it thinks, then speaks. If you've been burned by overwrought florals, this is the one that wins you back.Gris Montaigne
