    Real talk

    Some roses are decorative. This one has weight. The ambergris gives it an animal warmth that doesn't ask permission, it settles into skin and stays, drawing people in without announcement.Rose Absolue
    Rose Flash is not a suggestion of rose, it's the whole flower, concentrated into something that projects and refuses to leave. The sweet, jammy quality gives it an indulgent feel.Rose Flash
