    What do reviewers say about English Rose Contemporary Edition and Rose Velours?

    This isn't the rose your grandmother wore. The tea note keeps it honest, green, slightly bitter, never syrupy sweet. It's the kind of fragrance that smells like you actually washed your face this.English Rose Contemporary Edition
    This is a composed, honeyed iris rose that refuses to be generic. The ambroxan drydown gives it genuine depth. Not a flashy rose, but a lasting one. If you want a refined feminine scent that stays.Rose Velours
