What do reviewers say about Exquisite Embroidery and Noir de Noir?
The rose here isn't a whisper, it's the headline. Sweet, jammy, almost syrupy, with an oud that leans balsamic rather than sharp. If you've avoided oriental rose fragrances because they read too.Exquisite Embroidery
Noir de Noir leans harder into earth than into sweetness. The black rose is beautiful, but the truffle and oud make it feel nocturnal rather than romantic.Noir de Noir
