What do reviewers say about Rose de Nuit and Rose Barbare?
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
Rose Barbare does not want you to feel comfortable. The aldehydes hit first like a slap of cold water, then fenugreek arrives to complicate things further.Rose Barbare
