What do reviewers say about Stella (2014) and Purple Rose - Rosa Purpurea?
Rose and amber is a classic pairing, but most versions feel either too soft or too heavy. Stella threads the needle, peony keeps the rose from getting too serious.Stella (2014)
Some rose fragrances announce themselves. This one slips in quietly, tart mandarin, then a red rose that settles into powdery iris and stays close. It's the kind of clean that doesn't need to prove.Purple Rose - Rosa Purpurea
