What do reviewers say about Rose de Chine and Rose Barbare?
The peony opens loud. Unapologetically loud. That's not a flaw, it's the whole point. That structure holds as the warmer, more traditional rose begins to emerge.Rose de Chine
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
